Splotchy paint

Patt, I too find that Liquin dries fairly quickly and I am having a problem with my skin tones looking 'splotchy'. I'm not sure of a better way to describe it. My 'Lady Agnew' after Sargent looks like she put on make-up and didn't do a good job of applying the foundation. I tried using a bigger brush but it didn't solve the problem. I am finding that with glazes each layer shows through and therefore any irregularities pile up on each other and are perhaps exaggerated.

From 3 feet away it looks great, but I know I'm having trouble. Is it possible to use too little pigment with the Liquin? After I put the first layer on I could hardly tell any difference at all. I just waited for that to dry and applied another.

Thanks,
Joan
