Yes both are toxic. Flake white contains lead which can only be harmful if ingested or inhaled as dust. Wash hands before eating and don't sand the painting.
Turpentine can be absorbed through the skin and the fumes are very noxious.
Intelligent use of materials is the key.
Sharon,
I'm baaaaaaack!!! The workshop was great. So many talented people.
Richard,
The majority of the greatest paintings ever created used no cadmiums. I detect a theme here. Using cadmiums in flesh is like learning to parallel park in a Boeing 747.
Joan,
I have created a specific arrangement of colors on my palette based on Paxton's colors. This includes a string of neutral grays which I premix and tube.
Ken,
My neutral grays are based on 9 equal steps between the extremes of black and white paint. Other brands that manufacture neutral grays use theoretical black and white points. The values are threrfore skewed.
