Thought I would present a video I took many years ago. The beginning of this video shows the palette I use for oil painting. The only modification to the original palette was to replace Winsor Green (Blue Spectrum) with Viridian. My reason was that Winsor Green (Blue Spectrum) was too potent a color and dominated too much. Viridian is the same value of green, but with far less intensity and does not dominate as greatly. The rest of the video documents my attempt at completing a self-stretched canvas isolated with a coat of Rabbit Skin Glue and once dried primed with Winsor & Newton Oil Primer with Alkyd Resin as the binder. The pigment suspended in this mixture is Titanium Dioxide. I finished the surface with a coat of Cadmium Red Light Hue from Winsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd Resin. Thank you for your interest.
