I'm 77 years and 4 month old today and I've determined to start oil painting for half a years ago and still feel timid to begin! Painting is my childhood dream, but as an orphan at early age, I couldn't afford paper or pencil until my boyhood. My dear friend sponsored the materials for painting and we both didn't know exactly what we need and he bought me a few canvases, brushes, and oil-paint tubes, but not mediums are included. I even thought I must begin drawing yesterday and watched a few oil painting tutorials and found out I need more than I have to start painting- MEDIUMs!!! What a foooool I was who even think it was the same as water colour to use water as its medium. Miss, your explanation is very lucid and enlightening and I'm going to ask my friend to send some mediums right away!! Thank you so much, sensei.

Media są różne, ale najłatwiej maluje się olejem. Taki obraz dłużej schnie i często trzeba obraz "podsuszyć" przez dzień lub dwa by malować dalej kolejne warstwy. W tym czasie gdy jeden obraz podsycha malujesz inny, drugi. Można też malować farbami olejnymi bez żadnych mediów... farba olejna sama w sobie już ma medium... olej właśnie. Zaletą tego jest szybkie schnięcie obrazu choc choć nie będzie on błyszczał. Gdy już obraz jest gotowy, suchy można wtedy nałożyć sam olej na całość i następnego dnia lub później delikatnie przykładając pepierowy ręcznik, zebrać nadmiar oleju. Trzeba wprawy więc lepiej może poćwiczyć ale bez tego oleju na końcu też można. Podziwiam ludzi którzy w Twoim wieku chcą wdać się w awanturę z malowaniem... polecam!!!!!!!!!

Great advice, just one thing I'd like to add, and that is Liquin is considered a fatty medium. Your order was correct if you were to use those exact mediums, but you also wanna use a ratio it as you paint; 1:1 beginning, 2:1 middle(progressively less lean as you continue each layer) then finish with a fatty medium or the same medium you start with minus any lean solvents(this method is for liquin in particular). Hope this helps anyone who was wondering about liquin.

Terpentyna w zasadzie służy do czyszczenia pędzli po malowaniu. Ja używam liqinu i oleju lnianego ale jednak mimo zalet liqinu olej ma przewagę. Łatwiej się maluję przejścia kolorów są płynne i łagodne. Obraz trzeba odstawić wtedy by podsechł dlatego ja maluję kilka obrazów jednocześnie i wtedy maluję "do syta". Generalnie zasada jest taka by zacząć malować chudą warstwą a następna warstwa już tłusta. Chodzi o to by po latach obraz nie popękał.

1. No it is the opposite. Liquin thickens the paint so I would be careful not to use too much on the first layer. I like to use a paint thinner on the first layer. However, if the first layer is COMPLETELY dry you should be able to paint over it without a problem. 2. Canson recommends to avoid using linseed oil: it will be too liquid, making the colors run on the support. However, I have used it as a glaze and it worked well. I hope that is helpful! Good luck

Polecam ten sposób malowania. Jeżeli ktoś nie liczy się z kosztami to może malować Liqinem.

Turpentine can break the bond between pigment and oil (since it’s a solvent) which may lead to paint flaking or rubbing off. Liquin protects that bond. Using turps to thin your paint for an under painting is fine but not for top layers.

I just learned some new info at a workshop, turpentine or gamsol is great for the under painting, but it will dry fast. If you want to keep it wet you could use linseed oil, not much, but it will increase the flow of the paint and not speed up drying time. One artist I know paints his canvas with linseed oil before beginning so it is wet, another paints a light wash of gamsol and some oil paint, then wipes away highlights

Basically you use anything that classifies as a thinner? Liquin too or is that a medium? And anything that comes after the first layer is done with Linseed Oil or any other medium from whichever company I choose? The thinner thins the paint out, hence calling it "lean" and the Linseed Oil (and other mediums) make it more oily, hence "fatter". Do I have all that right, like wtf?

Please tell me your thoughts regarding using Galkyd instead of Liquin to speed up drying.

Do you know of any way to slow drying time for empasto work, and ideally not increase the gloss?

If a little turpentine is mixed with linseed oil in the first coat, what will be the result?

Excellent explanation. I use Galkyd Lite - is that similar to LQ? And can you tell me roughly what the drying time for Linseed oil is? I am a newbie so this is all so helpful.

In my experience since I only use linseed, it dries in a day or two.
