Chris, I am a new member. Why and when is the solvent free gel used? And what are you swishing your brush in? Is that solvent and what kind? Is there a video of yours to explain why you do what you do?

Would you paint a statue, fancy cup or a white dog? :)

Hi I know you asked Chris but if it is not a problem I try to answer your questions.In my opinion Gamsol and Gamblin gel are the best combo ;) In painting a lots of things become automatic during the years it is really difficult to explain why you do what you do..

Thank you Daniel. I’ve been painting for years, a hobby painter. I’ve only used Linseed oil a bit here and there that’s why I asked. Anything to help in my endeavors are appreciated! I’ve been dabbling in portrait painting for a bit. Some are good and some are a struggle…. Skin tone color mixing mostly. Just curious if it helps in application. Not a fan of glossy though.

I found the Sargent study to be easy to follow this one I'm struggling to follow your colours. Can you please be more descriptive when shifting colours. Thank you Chris <3

It would help tremendously if you arranged the colors on a value line (unsure of terminology)

I'm so happy with my painting! I think I captured well her youth, despite all the make up she is wearing.

Why is the grid 9x12 but you say your painting is 6x8. I don’t understand
