Oil painting mediums can be confusing, but I’ll make it simple. Watch me compare turpentine, mineral spirits, linseed oil, safflower oil and Liquin, and see how each changes the way paint flows and dries. You’ll learn when to use solvents vs oils, how to follow the fat over lean rule, and how varnish can bring your painting back to life. And share how I layer my own paintings step by step.
