I mixed this product with gesso and molding paste as a background for several paintings and am very please with it's aid in helping spread the paint mix onto the canvas. It created a nice texture covered surface to work on.

Finished up some paintings and added them to this blog. The camera person didn't do a very good job but at least I'm finish with them, though I am never really finished because I have more then one painting going at the same time.  I am trying not to think of Gardens and Gardening as it is very distracting to this artist.  Once my hands are in the soil I want to be outdoors.  I may set up a studio location in the back shed so that it feels like outdoors .....will have to think about that. 
The large canvases are stretched and two have the 1st background coat of paint on them and one of them has the idea I have in mind painted in.  Much more left to do.  So far I like what I see, but until its over it isn't over.  I plan to take pictures as I move along the process to document the different stages of this.  I've never painted a true series before so it could be interesting at least to me!
