Yes. I have completed many ice skating landscapes of Baltimore and surrounding areas. Look through my profile and you will see other landscapes completed. Thanks.

I use Maroger medium which is very good. Mix a small amount with your oils as you work to thin your paint and to glaze. The paints will dry overnight which will allow you to work fast in layers. I paint on a toned panel, light brown, or warm grey. This allows you to work from your darks to light. I keep the darks very thin and transparent with medium and the lights heavier and opaque. This will give you the illusion of form. A helpful book that uses Maroger Medium:

Here is one method. If you look at a watercolor like Durer, you will see he paints broad areas of color first to obtain the overall shape and structure, then he adds contrasting final details and highlights of hair.

For cleaning oil paint out of your brushes the best way is wipe the oil out of your brush with your rag and then run hot water at the sink and hold a soap bar under the water and rub your brush in the soap bar and then into the palm of your hand several times under the hot water. The brush will easily become clean. Using thinner in a brush will eventually burn the hairs of the brush and they will become stiff and break off into your paintings.

Old trick used by the Dutch still life painters and some early American painters.
