I have tried painting without oil and don't like consistancy of the paint and the sinking in of the dark colors. If you are looking to Virgil for advice here is a quote from him in a recent thread:
Quote:
"I recently tried Gamblin's Neo Megilp, and like it very much. I concur with those who would like to see it dry a bit faster, but I appreciate its not drying before I've had time to develop my forms fully. I have great confidence in Gamblin's products, as I know he works closely with the top conservation scientists in developing them before he puts them on the market."
I think it would be an interesting thread to have each artist state their thinner and medium choices.
