The medium is not the message

[Khaimraj Seepersad]

Wow, Marvin Mattelson,

I came onto the Internet about three or so years ago to get enough information to remove resins from my medium, and to simplify the technique back down to a brainless situation.

Thanks to Virgil and much reading, I just use a simple oil medium, a blend of walnut oil and stand oil with no solvent. The studio is practically scentless.

In the tropics, you need a slower drying oil, so my binder is also walnut oil. I spend most of my time on my composition, so the medium was never the answer for me.
