Using Winsor & Newton Liquin for details and for some glazing.
Painting is on an 8 x 10 piece of 1/4 inch MDF. 3 coats of Gamblin PVA size, 3 coats of W&N Oil Primer with one additional coat of a mix of Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna and Liquin to tone panel before painting. All coats of size, primer and umber/sienna mix are applied to both front and back of the panel as well as the edges, with a light sanding between coats.
Front of panel after umber/sienna application. I lightly sanded it before beginning to paint.
Reverse side of panel...
All surfaces (including edges) are prepped, primed and sealed to keep out humidity, to help prevent warping, and to help keep the support (the panel) stable. I usually take a rag and give the reverse side a swirly pattern just for looks.
