In the last painting I did I notice that I’ve got some areas where I applied the paint a bit thickly. There are other areas where the surface is smooth. For example yin this image below you can see a line above and left if the lamp shade. It is a slight groove in the surface.
Below in this image to the left of the lamp post you can see the roughness of the paint and left if that the smoother paint.
Any suggestions as to how to remedy this. The paint is dry. I plan to use a gloss varnish and I am sure these differences will be prominent.

@Abstraction that's true for thick paint straight out of the tube. I've noticed that's not an issue with mark's added paint medium. Maybe due to low viscosity the brush mark is naturally more flat even with a natural bristle hog brush(unless you load the brush with too much paint). On the other hand with paint straight out of the tube a natural compared to a synthetic brush would lay the Paint in a completely different manner.
See below, I've done that mistake on that painting where my brush marks are horizontal, it makes the darks look White in some areas. In reality it's just reflected light from the paint ridges. Oh well..
Controlling the amount of paint that goes on the canvas is important.
