Thanks! Answering the question: i paint in oils, so first i paint correct painting a la prima style, layers are added after painting is perfectly drive (sic!!). For making layers i used different colourless painting mediums or varnishis mixing with a lots of turpentine in what i mix dif oil colours for tone: sap green, indiho extra (indigo?!), carmin (green, blue, red) ... they all have to be transparent! So this mixture gets rather dark. Then with that i float my painting... sometimes i use brush, sometimes i just throw it (hommage to Pollock ;) ...)
