Finishing Miksture Palette
Finishing Layer details of textures, thickly applied highlights, bright reflections, and signature. In this layer you may use additional paints: Chinese vermilion extra, cadmium yellow deep, madder lake deep.

Finishing Layer
It is in this very stage that our objects gain their final color and shape Work only on the lightest highlight areas Now we can observe a miracle that amazes us in the museum: an optical mix of colors due to the translucency of the layers. At this stage your picture has just been born, and during all your lifetime it will be getting more and more beautiful, because all paints have the property of getting more and more transparent as time passes.

After drying the painting for at least six months, you must apply a cover varnish. Cover the canvas with the regular non-thinned damar varnish using a soft flat varnish brush
