Thanks, Karin. So I need to use thick paint without any medium. I thought it looked on the "splotchy" side too but thought I could smooth it out when I added color. If it shows through, I'd better fix it!!

The water mixable paints are oils, they just clean up with water. I like them but I haven't used traditional oils in 20 years so I don't have anything to compare them to. I hate the smell of turpentine as it gives me a headache. The Genesis paints are intriguing...

Thanks again and I'll post the "fixed" underpainting.
