Hi James congrats on 200k. I’ve been wondering about something you might write about sometime if you’re interested or just answer here, which is how to prepare different grounds for texture in any medium but especially (for me) for oil and specifically how you think Nicolai Fechin prepared his canvas to get those textures. I’ve read maybe it was casein ground, have you used oil on this, or rabbit skin gesso, or other absorbent surfaces? Thanks, Philip Newsom @philipnewsom
