Hi, bold and fearless should be the words for every day, not intimidation. Lack of self confidance is a crippling state of mind, it holds you down. But knowledge and persistance will slowely release you from this state of mind. There is a good book for you, I suggest you get it, The Painters Companion by Reed Kay, Webb books, Distributed by Hill & Wang. It will answer many questions you may have. Onions are used to prepare the primed surface before you begin Imprimatura,( the first paint layer )The old masters would cut a onion in half and rub it over the canvas, followed by a light coat of linseed oil, then wiped with a soft lint free cloth.
