Beautiful work and so generous with your knowledge and talent. I didn’t quite understand where you used the professional paint as compared to the liquitex basics, it is such a fabulous ides to mix them when you can!

[@DavidWhitakerArt]

I use the basics for blocking in and underpainting, and when I’m just having fun, compared to the heavy body professionals when I want to add the final layering and details :)
