WAIT- there may be something I add to the paint sometimes-hint hint , but I won't say what it is.
(grin). It is rarely done though.


The broadest means of expression can be reached with oil paint only. It is like saying that in
: order for someone to play Mozart, his piano keys have to be made out of sabre toothed tiger
: bone. The keys are made of basic standard material, just as the paint is just oil paint. The means of expression is
: how it is applied, dried, surface, color, tone, mood, composition, etc.
: Permanency and simplicity is the reason for just oil paint without maroger medium or other garbage additives
: like egg. Egg and additives have done nothing that I or the "masters" could not achieve with paint only, I have tried both.
: Simplicity of medium is necessary due to the complex nature of this technique, if
: I had to worry what my piano keys were made of all this time, it would distract me
: from the song. Same goes for the "masters" most of the time. The reason I would have learned 10 times faster if not for all of the
: misleading books, teachers and info out there, is that I spent years playing around with mediums,
: mixtures, and recipes, only to come back to the basic oil paint as capable of expressing
: all that the mixtures did, and better. If I told you everything in detail, I know someone would
: sell it once they see the paintings. So screw it. I could care less what people want to use,
: I am saying what I use, and what the "masters" used.. I also hate to see people waste money like I used to on tons of
: different recipes and mediums. It is a waste of time, money, and is unnecessary.
: But then again, I'm not even sure why I am tring to help people here, as I was just insulted anyway.
: Anyway, 2 things, 1- We can do just as good as "the masters" and MUCH better, so forget about them!!
: once you have learned from them. 2- cooking is fun, and so are recipes. That is why
: people like making cake icing with oil paint. I could care less what people
: do, ya make sure you mix in some egg, then go and buy some maroger medium and
: don't forget to add beeswax and water droplets all from Studioproducts.com. Whatever floats yer boat, I just realized I am engaging
: in a futile debate on the internet. Ouch. Waste of time.
