discussion Working with enamels

[adt70hk]

Artists Oils can work even better Richard. The pigment is so fine they dry brush superbly, and the drying time is no worse than enamels because the paint layer is so thin….in my experience they also dry matt. Naples yellow light is fantastic for fading out German yellow, for example.

Will bear that in mind.... Thanks Tim!

If you’re going to try it Andrew, squeeze out the oils onto a scrap of cardboard and leave them for a little while. This allows the cardboard to soak out some of the oil carrier so the paint dries faster and to dry with a matt finish.
