I'm looking for some suggestions on how to get rid of those pesky ridges in my brush strokes without having to brush over them or sand/scrape them off later. I like the look of spontaneous brushwork and don't want to lose that quality.

I'd like to find a free flowing medium that is self-leveling, even with somewhat heavy paint application.

Marvin, I wondered how you liked the M. Graham Walnut/Alkyd medium, now that you've been using it for a while. Would that do what I'm looking for, do you think?
