    Hi Andrew, I am not the person who usually reaches out to someone providing content on social media platforms. Also, because I am an artist who thinks "if I practise enough I can do it myself" therefore I usually don't 'buy' from others. I stumbled over your heron painting about 2 years ago and I was so excited to see a MASTER at work and sharing his techniques, moreover - I was gobsmacked at how brilliant the painting was. So here we are 2 years on and I have subscribed to your channel, I have watched most of your tutorials, some of your podcasts and 'bought' your EPIC MILFORD video. Whilst you don't know me, I feel like I am an old lost buddy so thank you for all your content, I really am amazed at how much I have learnt because as I have said... I am an artist. In fact, I am a mature aged artist (60 years young) with distinctions in painting from College and University, yet you opened my eyes about so many things!!! Thank you so much.

    Working as a billboard artist, we got our oils in quarts and gallons. We used a product called Smith Cream to paint on the surface to make blending easier. We also mixed Japan Dryer, Linseed Oil and paint thinner to mix with our paints to make them more pallettable.

    they want the poor artists to spent as much as possible so that "the painting doesn't destroy itself while hanging on the wall because of low-class painting mediums". It is also important to check that a painting doesn't go up in flames because of too much linseed oil.

    Another great video Andrew, thank you. I started off oil painting around 10 years ago using Liquin as I like to paint in thin layers. I have tried more traditional mediums, but always go back to Liquin. I can’t tolerate turps so my solvents of choice are Zest it or Gamsol. I don’t have a problem with Liquin fumes as I only use it in very small amounts. It does have varying drying times though depending on my colour mixes, but I feel confident using it.

    One of our artist fellows pointed out that you can replace the child proof caps on the W&N medium bottles with the screw caps from non corked wine bottles. The width and thread size seems to be exactly the same. I use the ones with a silvered inner seal of the same type W&N use on the inside of their bottles. Gently wash the inside with plain water and allow to dry for a few days incase a little water is hiding behind the edge of the seal, and they're ready to go. The childproofs can be good to begin with, but after a while, little bits of medium can gum them up. My New Zealand wine caps seem to work great. Of course if you do have children of that age, it's best to avoid with the more toxic bottles.
