Got a bit of time in this afternoon though wish I hadn't. Photographed some work - looks awful - went through stacks of drawings hoping to find some that might be of use. Didn't. Looked at the paintings in store - they asked for one in the local cafe - nothing, rien, zilch, nada. How come?
And the current paintings seem to have sunk, the colours retreat overnight. Im using gesso and rabbit skin or sometimes one or the other - never had problems like this before.
Hmmm using very little linseed - either turps or nothing or perhaps dissolved damart crystals when it the surface is too overworked. Maybe I'II add more linseed to the process. Could be that the turps is diluting and sinking the pigment.
Still not confronting new canvas.
