•
After learning watercolor, gouache, tempera, egg tempera, and casein (milk paint) techniques, I found ways to use oil paint, copal and stand oil to perform the functions that appealed to me about those other mediums. I do a lot of glazing and layering, so I usually work on Masonite which provides a stable support.
