Paint & surface

  • Limited palette (Titanium White, Ivory Black, Yellow Ochre, Ultramarine, Alizarin) to start.
  • Gessoed panel or canvas; bristle & soft synthetics mix.

Mediums & workflow

  • Lean → fat layering; odorless mineral spirits + small amount of medium.
  • Block big shapes, refine edges, reserve accents for last.
