I don't need thinners with my process at this point, and I've been using a non-toxic no-fume brush cleaner instead of solvents.

My dad has always used oil, and I can remember our garage always having that distinct smell.

I haven't needed to use a thinner yet in my process, but I'll keep walnut oil in mind.

It slows drying time, but it is a bit thinner than linseed oil. My favorite brand is M. Graham. I also love their oil paints.CassieMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10311320787197493016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408334652981187728.post-92120191948177958032012-02-20T19:20:03.710-05:002012-02-20T19:20:03.710-05:00supercool! it looks like you've got the light...supercool! it looks like you've got the light down perfectly. can't wait to see the finished product...!
