I'm a beginner at oil painting and I think the solvents are giving me headaches. If possible, I'd like the paint without solvents. What's the easiest way to do this?
Also, what are your opinions on the water mixable oil paint?
Thanks! |

Post your questions in either the oil forum or the Tech forum above. They do not answer your questions here, if picked they are pubished in the magazine.
A lot of us here use Liquin to make the paint smoother, and also for glazes and blending. It has no odor. Looks like honey in color, but dries clear in painting. |

M Graham makes oil paint with walnut oil - you do not have to use any solvents at all - use walnut oil as medium as well as cleaning brushes.
Happy Painting

| I'm sorry you get head aches. If you are like me my headaches are caused by muscle tension that builds up in my shoulders and back of the neck. Try some yoga relaxation and stretches before and after each painting session. Be aware of your shruged shoulders while working... relax. Oh, and maybe place a fan in the doorway while you work.

| I would like to ask how you like the walnut oil painting. How is it different than regular oil paint feel? I am considering a change. they say the walnut won't yellow over time. |
