Hi, has anyone tried spike oil (lavender oil) as a medium? what's it good for and bad for? i read about it in the wonderful, famous eastlake, then tried i it instead of turps as a thinner (which the bottle's label suggested), adding a bit of stand linseed coz i thought it would stretch the pigment too much. i think da vinci used to use it to get a matte look? if so, would my use of stand oil defeated that? doh. also, does anyone out there use it? where i live, it's v.v. expensive!
(and quite stinky). should i give it up as an archaic, stinky throwback? |
