Marvin,

Thanks for the input. I posted in another place, that I had just received samples from M.Graham. The info on using Walnut oil for clean-up was interesting. I have been using, like Lisa, Turpenoid Natural. My post above about Turp and Stand Oil was about what goes on my painting, not what I use for clean up. But I'm wandering now. Anyway, I tried the sample for clean up, and like you, I found I liked a soapy wash after. I'm in the middle of a simple still life using Graham's pigments and I must say, the colors are vibrant. Ive gotten some feedback on this WIP on another site and it was all good comments about the color. The product is looser than most so mediums have not been needed so far.
