Painting ‘Edges’ and the Problem of Drying In - No. 60

Returning to the ‘edge’ discussion but to focus on the management of the visual edge vs. the physical ones previously discussed. Also discusses certain canvases and drying-in issues. In response to Richard and Gabriel

QUESTIONS:
Edges are one of the hardest things to understand, GABRIEL
Could you talk a little about your choice of canvas. I've been using Claessens single oil primed linen with Grumbacher and or Windsor Newton paints, no medium other than a little linseed oil if needed for the lay in and when dry the thing is completely sunken in and matte, especially the darks. Can this be because the paint is applied to thinly? Any suggestions? RICHARD
