This sounds so good ☺☺

I was so excited until soy. Allergies make this too much a risk. Eco grown soy is really hard to source. But. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I'm so glad that people are seeking out alternatives to solvents. So I'm still happy there is progress in this area, just not the product for me.

[@hayleyhawkins]

I’m sorry to hear you’re allergic!😓😓hopefully they will explore other oils in the future & organic sources too!

[@juliedrakeArtist]

Have you heard of Michael Harding’s Miracle Medium? Oh my goodness, complete game changer ❤

[@hayleyhawkins]

No but I will definitely check it out, sounds amazing!! Does it clean brushes well?

[@juliedrakeArtist]

@@hayleyhawkins yes, it’s amazing.It looks like it’s cheaper than the one you use and there are other mediums in the Miracle medium range. I’m like you and don’t use solvents but was missing thinning my oil paints for washes and glazing at the start of painting. I’m in awe of this stuff. There’s no smell, it cleans brushes so well I can’t quite believe it and it mixes beautifully with the paint. I get mine from Jackson’s because I’m in the UK and Michael Harding is also UK based.

@@juliedrakeArtist WOW that sounds amazing!! I will try it when I run out of Eco-Solve, thanks for the suggestion :) So glad these great alternatives are available now

[@ratherpaint]

Thanks for the information about this product. I ordered some and was able to use it first 2 days ago. It cleaned the brushes really well, even better than safflower oil. I'm waiting to see how quickly the pigment particles settle out so I can decant it and use it again. It takes a month or more for the pigments to settle out of safflower oil so so it can be reused and if this is even half the time, it'll be worth it. It's been a week or so since I've watched this video, but I think I remember that you said the Eco-Solve will be stained from the pigments. That's unfortunate, I think, but not a deal killer. The Eco-Solve is not clear anyway like an odorless mineral spirit is, but I guess I'm wondering if i will be able to tell when the Eco-Solve is ready to be reused.

[@hayleyhawkins]

I'm glad you're liking the product! Unfortunately it won't stay clear at all like gamsol, so i just keep using it and reusing it all the time. I've been painting with the same jar daily for about a month and i just keep adding more oil on top when it gets low or too murky. You could also start a new jar and wait for the other jar to settle more to the bottom. having a jar with a coil or wire it in helps too, like this: amzn.to/448yxAY, so you can wipe your brush on there and separate the pigment from oil. good luck!!

Oh man in Canada they want 70$ for 16oz (on Amazon). And they don't ship to Canada from the manufacturers website 😢😭😭😭

[@hayleyhawkins]

Noooo that’s the worst ugh !🥲🥲
