If you like 17th century Dutch still life then take a look at my wife's
painting - Would be interested in your opinions

Very nice handling of light... chiaroscuro ? I like the high contrast, and
the nice touches like the fabric. Almost photographic; in real life, can
you see the brushstrokes more clearly?

No Debbie you cannot see any brushstrokes. She mixes the paint just as they
did in the 17th century and paints many fine coats. All her paintings are
done on English Beech faced ply which I sand down to a glass finish.

Regards
John

Unbelievable! At first I thought it was a photo so I re-read your post! How
long does something like that take your wife to paint?

Beautiful work John.
I bet you're very proud of her.

How fascinating! The sanding must be rather demanding, too, since I'd think it
might be quite a learning process to sand enough but not too much. Why doesn't
the sanding leave more of a matte instead of glass finish?

Is there a term for using many fine coats? Is that "glazing", or am I confused
with another word?
Anyway, it's all very, very interesting and impressive.
