I tried using walnut oil instead of linseed oil in the Cumulus painting. Walnut oil is supposed to yellow less over time.
It took about 4-5 days to dry. And when dry it was glossy as if it had been freshly varnished. I am still going to varnish it with the Soluvar varnish in order to protect the painting but I'm tempted not to as the paint looks so beautiful as is.
I don't think I'll be going back to linseed oil for a long while.

I really wish I still had a studio for painting, I'd love to get back into larger art. My kidlet 'stole' my art room hee hee
I love all these posts about your artwork :)
My studio is actually an outdoor storage closet of sorts. No window, no heat, no insulation, no running water. The plan is in time to put in the window and insulation and finish the walls. Hey, we take what we can get, right?
