cmsa; counter intuitive painting tip of the day; apply thin paint with a strong scrubbing application that forcibly spreads the paint thin enough so you can see through it. Use a stiff bristled brush and a heavy hand....For thicker, more opaque paint; use a soft bristled brush like a little shovel to scoop up a generous amount of paint; drop it in to the paintng with the lightest touch possible, like a butterfly!! Do not lick!!!!(something saturday painters are often guilty of...once the paint drops in, don't keep stroking, leave it alone, recharge brush, and move on.)"the parties over" c valle, oil on linen
