Hello,

This one is aluminium. I sanded with grit #400 then make it fat-free with alcohol. I used a thin layer white acrylic paint. After drying painted over with Titanium White (here, only restoration institute can buy/use Lead or Cremnitz White, since containing lead and the State made strong rules in ca. 2001) and a touch of my Terra ercolano.

how long did it cure before you began your underpainting?
Oh yes, I think too less. I did my thought in this direction too, perhaps this last layer (quasi-imprimatura) was not perfectly dried thoroughly and the underpainting (a bit! thinned! paint) could do it soluble. For me a new effect, came never at grounded linen or MDF, since are more absorbent as metal. Have you an other idea?

P.S. Although I found the picture not bad, of course the grooves are fatal for glazing.I sanded the underpainting to get smooth again. And will start new...

Many thanks and best wishes.

Leslie, the impatient patient
