Removing the paper haze

paint, paper & asphalt on canvas
Last night I discovered a technique whereby I can remove the residual paper from the surface of the canvas without damaging the layers of paint below.
This is a vast improvement over using oil to render the paper transparent, and the colors are far brighter than I've been able to get them in the past. I took the above photo this morning and you can see where the top and left side have been cleaned. I've spent the night working away at it and am dead tired. Going to bed now; I'll post a photo in the morning of the fully cleaned surface.
