Thank you for this video. David Kassan brought me here. I once oiled out an entire painting with a thin, thin coat of straight refined linseed oil. The painting had a beautiful blue abstract background. It severely yellowed within two weeks of the application. I was able to save the painting, but it was a valuable lesson. Never never never oil out an entire panting, and artist grade linseed oil definitely goes yellow.
@@davidreames384 thanks for your comment David! I have learned from my errors, and I too have been a victim of too much linseed oil when oiling out. It’s important to only oil out the area in which you will be working, and dilute the oil when possible. Solvents have their own problems, but I find this recipe to be rather effective. Just give it time to soak in, and wipe it away carefully. The solvent evaporates. Obviously, only use this on a dry layer of oil paint. Anyway, I appreciate your comment, and also for taking the time to watch the video. And thank you, David Kassan! Please stay tuned!
@@davidreames384 walnut oil is great, and it is great to use in lighter areas. It’s a beautiful medium. Actually a preferred medium of Leonardo da Vinci. Best wishes!
Thank you for good, concise information! I particularly love that you explain “Why?” That is so very important and you never fail to explain. Thanks!

@chrisclampart Thanks for the response! I am going to experiment with Walnut Oil as you said it is less likely to yellow. I will keep you posted.
