Hi Michelle

In the painting I'm working on now, "New Haircut" I've painted his face and body using a small amount of medium. The background is applied with no medium, as I wanted to have a contrast and texture. The sky swirls and foliage in heavy brushstrokes. Even at the thickest points its only an eighth of an inch thick at the most. I did start out fairly thin, then started having fun with it and applied with wild abandon, then thought I better ask about the medium thing. Which pigments need to be applied with a medium in thin layers?

Jean
