My medium de Jure
Jean,
I have started using a medium comprised of walnut oil and alkyd resin manufactured by Graham. I may seem fickle, but I'm in love with this stuff. It allows the paint to stay open longer than the Neo Megilp yet it dries faster (usually overnight). It also seems to make the paint less transparent than N.M. Like the N.M. it dries to a gloss finish so the darks avoid that old sinking in feeling. My brushes seem to take less of a beating as well.
My sole criteria is if something works for me I am 100% behind it, since my allegiance is to my paintings alone. I have no loyalty to any brand, approach, concept or affiliation unless it works for me.
