Chris,
I am almost afraid to reply to this topic since you said you hated water soluble/mixable paints.
However here goes. I chose Artisan's cadmium yellow hue and just drew out the image. I used only a wet rag to remove the pigment and water as the solvent. Then I just marked in a light and shadow pattern.
From the next stage I treated the Artisans as normal oil paints. Artisan is a paint that is manufactured to be semi-opaque or transparent,so just working straight out of the tube will give stained glass type effects.
In the last stages any addition of medium will render the paints even more transparent.
The sticky quality left behind when the paint is fully dried will slowly oxidise away.
Here's a bit I noticed a week or so ago. I attached a thin sheet of plywood to the face of painting, effectively blocking out all light. After 4 months the section blocked had not yellowed. This was done to a range of colours painted across the canvas, white, red, green and flesh tone.
