'Lancashire Mounted Branch' Finished!


Finished! 24" x 18" oil on box canvas. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and (unusually!)I am actually really pleased with it! Didn't retouch during painting in the end so looking forward to seeing the colours pick up and the darks deepen when it is dry enough to add a coat!

    Stunning Laura! I love the colours and dark background. How long do you wait before varnishing, do you use re-touch varnish?

    Thanks Sam! Yes, I use re-touch varnish, usually wait a week or so, sometimes more sometimes less. I paint in such thin layers and use alkyds for the base layers so it generally doesn't take long to dry enough for it to go on. I wait the recommended 6 months to a year for proper final varnishing though.
