For my last painting i was so eager to get to work that i just color matched acrylic paint for the foundation stain in marks videoa. In the mean time i prepped a second canvas with genevas foundation stain. I just put the second coat on and it looks SO DARK! and more brown than neutral...did i do something wrong? Or will the color change as it dries?

    Looks fine to me, although it does look darker than I expected.  It could also be the photograph.  The neutrality aspect means it's neither bluish, reddish or yellowish.

    At first it looked like an extreme close-up of a horse.

    Ah yes, I have one of those.  It's the reason I have a palette cover, to keep the fluff out, but last year I had another one that walked across the palette a couple of times.  Not good.

    Don't worry. The main role of toning is to get rid of the glarey white.
    No such thing as too dark, except if you use thin or transparent paint.
    I am quite happy painting on black toned canvas.
    So stop horsing around :)

    Lol! To everyone! Haha i ended up just painting it on the regular stained color and it was fine. Was toying around with portraiture and wanted to see how quickly i could get it to this point...took longer than i hoped, but still crushing my old times at about 4 hours! 8x8 inches. I think my haste led to some mistakes, but overall happy. Especially when at first glance on the wall my husband asked me where i got the photo of Penny (our daughter) in this image i painted from shes staring off in a post nap trance. Haha #zonedout

    Your cat probably saw you with your elbows in the palette and wanted to get with the fashion of the day.
