Hi Marc! Thanks so much for sharing this. I'm always wondering about the various arguments regarding the materials mentioned here. I always appreciate when others share their findings. And yes, reading each manufacturer's instructions for correct product use goes a long way! Great information!
Thank you, Marc. I shared it to my FB page because there are many artists that don't do as much investigating as you have done. I will read it again probably a couple of times and look at that board... maybe do my own during the coming weeks (or probably a few months from now). I have been using the Galkyd Gel Medium in the tube and love it... but not really sure what it will be doing to my paintings in the future. I use it throughout the whole painting from start to end and hope that is working. I haven't seen any detrimental effects. Again, thanks!
Thanks for sharing this., Marc. Your arguments are measured and your comments very informative: a gift. You inspire me to do more of my own critical analysis about materials and processes and to always consider the source of any proclamations about them. Happy New Year!
I've followed you since your blog days because you are a painter who researches and evaluates his materials and methods before coming to conclusions. Thank you for sharing the results of your experiences in this post.
I don't use alkyd mediums, but this has me reconsidering my whites.
What a wonderful informative post, Marc! Thank you for taking the time to respond to the original comment by teaching your entire community. Your scientific approach to methods and tools is much appreciated and inspiring for me, especially as we begin the new year!
