The surface of oils.

[Elizabeth Schott]

I was wondering if anyone else ends up with too much unintentional texture on their oils painting surfaces from reworking the form.

I understand that there are people like David Leffel who paint very thick, but I haven't seen one in person and am not familiar with the shadow areas.

I have also seen surfaces like Whitaker's that could be glass, with the exception of some well placed highlight brush strokes.

Are you bothered by built up texture in oils?

Thanks, Beth
