And the marks made are thin enough that you can paint over them with acrylic immediately, without a noticeable trace of smeared color. (I should note, I am drawing lines in isolated areas. If you filled in large shapes, it might be different.)Catherine Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436800214622635920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582470877898434732.post-34164130741675569622009-09-27T07:08:03.188-07:002009-09-27T07:08:03.188-07:00Sounds like fun, Catherine.

I spend a good deal of time looking at (into) each piece you post. <br /><br />You mentioned that you are looking for depth and yet I find that you have so much depth in your paintings frequently.<br /><br />One little question Catherine - does it take a long time for oil sticks to dry on top of acrylic? If so it must take a long while before you can move on. <br /><br />Thanks Catherine, SherrillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
