I use A LOT of paint and that means I look for quality, professional paint that doesn’t cost crazy money. So long, Old Holland. My usual brand is M.Graham oil paint, along with some Gamblin. Both have high pigment loads and, being modern, machine-made paints, both require very little medium straight out of the tube. Gamblin is a bit stiffer but not sculptural or varied in any way. And it’s this lack of variety that sometimes bores me, especially for small paintings which rely so much more on an attractive paint surface for their impact.
Thank you so much for sharing this discovery. Have been looking for a nontoxic medium for some time and looking forward to trying this.
Also can’t wait to try M. Graham paints. Have never used that line.
With gratitude
Susan
