I had a full can of Grumbacher and had spent enough racing my inferior paints. Next purchase. I'm not going to ain't with turpentine, I'm going to have a small quantity in the laundry room for unnoticed dried oil paint spots on clothing--to use as a spot remover. <br /><br />I asked Gamblin for literature on their products a while ago.

Giving me quite a lift. Hoping to learn new things from you.<br />Regarding turps. Robert Gamblin l gave a gift to artists when he developed GAMSOL.. I think it has a bit of oil in it so it does not dissipate into the air as quickly as other odorless turps. Not as harmful. I have tested it with two open jars and the other brand disappeared so quickly, it amazed us all. That is why OSHA allows only Gamsol in university classrooms, etc,anymore. When I think of art school and the real turps wafting into our central nervous system.<br />..wow - makes me shudder. You may want to try it.<br />juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-79091862796940511612014-09-06T17:00:57.239-04:002014-09-06T17:00:57.239-04:00Shoes.

I'm using Cad Red Medium instead of Alizarin and just bought Quinacridone Violet to replace Alizarin. I'm following Wilcox's findings with regards to permanency. As I head off for class, it is difficult thinking I am going to paint anything worthwhile without one cadmium or violet in my paint box.

Richard Schmid used it was first washes, because it dried faster than mineral spirits. I haven't found the drying speed of mineral spirits to be a problem. I want turpentine for spot removal. Paint seems to jump on me in place not protected by my apron. --I use a hair dryer If I want the initial color wash drawing totally dry before laying in other colors. Of course, I will try the odorless turp first. The odor of turpentine is why I gave up oils years ago.

I do like to follow where my curiosity leads. This year, it led me to Todd Burroughs and the Venetian technique. As Richard Bach said, books fall open to the right page. While I love the gestural technique, an understanding of the Venetian might balance things out quite nicely.

I really dislike having to transport a lot of supplies to a less comfortable, accommodating, setting. But the instructor is an accomplished painter. I just hope he's also an accomplished instructor. My crotchety attitude is age appropriate. My willingness to put that aside, is my drive for excellence in this year of enlightenment.

My brother in-law passed away way too young and never had the pleasure. I like the fact that Henry is still around in this little guy. It's a pleasure painting him.
