I've started salvaging paintings I didn't like by painting over them. I'm using a couple of coats of big-box sealer/primer followed by two coats of Golden Gesso, which is amazing stuff. It's more absorbent than the oil-primed linen I've been using, and probably better for alla prima. I used a pretty limited palette for this guy with plenty of underpaint noodling around. 16" x 14" - 3 hours.
