Glaze upon glaze upon glaze

    

Goodness me, that's a lot of glazing! I'm on my 7th coat and still have a way to go.  I decided to use Galkyd Lite for this experiment and I am finding this a real test of patience for me. I enjoy the process of working with a pretty well thought-out value study and building up slowly but alright, already - it seems like I could have actually built the truck by now :). I still have several layers to go and thought you might enjoy seeing the process so far. 

The Galkyd Lite was nice to work with but I must say if I didn't have a full-on VOC (volatile organic compounds) air purifier in my studio, I don't think I could handle the odor. Oh, the things we do for love.





More to come...later.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy painting, all!
Cheers,
Sandy

  2. 7 layers and still more to go?? That's quite an effort! I must say it already looks finished to me - I'm interested to see what the remaining layers will do.
