cmsa; Tip of the Day; "Fat over Lean"- you may have already heard this one. It means that; when working wet into wet , unless the paint on top is thicker, more"oily" than the wet paint underneath IT WILL NOT STICK. Instead of depositing additional paint, you end up pulling up some of the wet paint underneath. Therefore, when direct or ala prima paintng, start with thin, semi transparent paint, work up to thick and opaque. "an angel passes" 2004, c valle oil on linen
