Bob Beary Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) I want to try doing a dot filter process....that is, small dots of oil paint dragged down over the surface. Should it be done over a flat or gloss finish? Thanks. Bob Edited October 3, 2017 by Bob Beary spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
murad Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 gloss surface pro: easy to recover mistakes since the surface is smooth, pigments won't have anywhere to grab con: hence it's easy to remove the oil paints more than you want to causing you to start over flat surface pro: searching... cons: porous surface means it'll absorb / pull / hang onto anything and everything; causing tidemarks from thinner and/or linseed oil. hard to clean up as a result - might leave stains behind even if it looks like fully cleaned (if that's what you are after tho it's an upside) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
