If you zoom on this image, you can actually see the minute, grainy texture of the light molding paste which I have first applied to this canvas. I left more tooth on this one - which I do not like as well to paint on.  I know it lends itself to grab the paint in interesting and unpredictable ways - but I'm longing for the smooth wood boards tonight.  I've used both ultramarine violet and dioxazine purple here.  The dioxazine is more "purple" when white is added than the violet.  The transparent unltramarine violet almost melts away with the tiny addition of any other color.  This painting makes 831 in 831 days.
