Keeping The Paint Thin

 In initial applications of paint on a new canvas or panel, I tend to go overboard, making the strokes lusciously thick. This is always a problem that I have to fight with later, when the raised strokes interfere with a space that should look flat. So I'm trying hard today to keep this one under control.
