Hello again,

It just occurred to me, that if I use a medium for miniatures, the paint becomes thinner.
Karin Wells wrote that as to my first picture, my underpainting was too thin. (She was right). How can I make both (medium for better control and thick paints)?

To Michael,

My material is RESITEX. I have aluminium, copper and ABS of course. What is with Acrylglas (polymer, plexi or macrolon) for miniatures?

Did you finish your picture with the three girls in the forest (Fairies)?

How much time can I still regard as normal, for a portrait (in particular the underpainting) ?
John Sheppard's book wrote about 3 or 4 hours for a sitting. His nude on bed (a la Rembrandt) took 9 hours, but alla prima. What is normal?

To Chris Saper,

I see your "fine tuning" always. Thank you for your help (translating)?

For my 3rd project, here is the reference picture:

No joke! I must still practice a lot in any case.

P.S. Regarding Sanden's palette and mixtures, I would like to try them, but I still have not.

P.P.S. Hey! Why doesn't anybody tell me: "You seem very encouraged, but think about finding another waste of time?"
