Thanks for uploading your picture. The technique looks very interesting. I can imagine how it has livened it up. The warmth of the rock is now a good contrast to the cool colours on the left hand side. You have a lot of variety and interest in there too. thanks for the tip.

One note of caution - it takes forever to dry. Mix it more thoroughly with the paint than I did.

In response to numerous requests - all right, one, be pedantic! - this is a close-up of part of a very small painting I completed recently ... to demonstrate the results, if not the process, of glazing techniques. This chunk of rock and earth was a great, unprepossessing lump of brown until I took a thickened Linseed oil and glazed various colours over it, including Indian Yellow, Burnt and Raw Sienna, and others I've forgotten! It looks better in the flesh - and these things will, because so much depends on the play of light.
