Thanks again for all of your kind words.

Ardith,

I am very fascinated by your works. After seeing your other posts it looks as you prefer a high contrast of value. And I would like very much if you would throw some more light on your working process.

You say that you go over the painting three times. What do you weight the first, second and third time. The reason that I ask so direct is that the method of under-painting is new to me, and also that I am told to listen to the best !!!!

Hope the best, Allan
