Thanks for that, Terri. Exactly a month from today, I'll be in Mr. Whitaker's workshop, and I note that in prepping for the session, he says he will be providing one of Graham's alkyd mediums for class use, although it seems to be an economic concession over Maroger's.

I'm really looking forward to this, and hope to have the opportunity to have his thoughts on alkyd use in general.

One thing we must all keep in mind is that with painting materials, the skill and method of use can have much to do with success or failure, while it's easy to blame materials. There's nothing we can use that can't be misused to failure!
