Is there a private FB group for your Patreon subscribers?

I am going to do this today. It is my first practice with oils. I bought all the supplies, but I had odorless mineral spirits at home already. Can I use it in place of turpentine?

I tried. It was very difficult as each color blended with the underneath color creating muddy colors. It was a learning experience. When I tried to paint with not much paint, all the brush strokes show.

I found this difficult particularly to get the orange to look luminous. I found myself layering on too much paint and too many colors which as mentioned above, became muddy. I would love to know more about the actual techniques used to create the layers of the oranges colors and how much paint to use at a time. But it was a good challenge!

The book Chris recommended in one of his videos - fill your oil paintings with light and color- suggests both moving from thing to thick in paint, and using single strokes. I have found that the first stroke is great for putting down color, and the second is now mixed with the underlayer / local paint. If you want a vibrant / not muddy stroke, try to lay down the paint in a single stroke. If you need to add more paint after the stroke, return to the palette, pick up some more paint, and lay down another stroke. That will keep it from getting muddy.

Thank you for your suggestions! I will look into that book as well. I am working on being more deliberate with my strokes but definitely a learning curve.
