Hi Leslie,
I still use Maroger but I wanted to try something new on a big stretched linen canvas that I had. I find that a lot ot things contribute to paint ridges:
- a panel makes strokes more distinct than a stretched canvas;
- different mediums can make strokes more distinct;
- various paint brands can make strokes more distinct;
- brush type makes strokes more distinct (I am phasing out some of my bristle brushes for this reason).
I'm starting to fan down that first layer of paint a little more than I used to and save the more painterly touches and hard edges for later on.
I'm not a smooth-as-glass painter but I usually don't like ridges in skin or dark backgrounds.
