Chris, I thought my method would be OK but I wanted to check. To be perfectly honest, I am probably stalling, and calling it research.

The last painting I did was more photorealistic than previously, and I found myself tweaking here and there for over a week. Though most areas are 2 layers, I used 3-4 in small smaces like the lighted side of the nose. This had a nice subtle effect and I was pretty happy with the result but I used raw paint over raw paint and I hope that's not going to be a problem during my lifetime.

Marvin, thanks! This is what I wanted to know exactly. I remember a conversation you had with Karin Wells where you mentioned layer thickness as another factor. Your explanation here is gratefully received!
