I went back to using household gloss after having been using jacksons own. The later never wrinkles and is far less glassy in its glaze. The former is more like liguid glass and shiens like fuck. It wrinkles too. I think I was finding the overt gloss seductive but knew I could not use it due to the wrinkling problems and also, now you mention it, realise it provides surface distraction more than painterly freedom. Back to the jacksons glazing, which can be sanded slightly back to control it. YIPEEEEEEE I think it is essential I continue to pour, or at least use the paint fluidly, I think it is critical to other facets of the process. Thanks loads for commetns. Very useful and has helped back up my belief that the floater is the way forward for now. My instinct was saying that but a part of my brian was saying they lacked the complexity of some other images... and that that was a bad thing. glad you said the oozing glaze was too much.
