AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

You betchya, with gamsol as a medium
Classy, oil fir the world π€πΌ
I'm using vater soluble oil colors, it's like classic oil but you can clean them with water and you don't use those toxic stuffs. So I use linseed oil when I want to fluidify the paint, is gamsol for that too (and is gamsol a brand)?
Nice. Idk how the water soluble ones work but adding linseed oil makes the paint thinner but also fatter meaning it's going to take a lot longer to dry. Gamsol is a paint thinner which will liquify the paint in a similar consistency but also makes it leaner so it dries a lot quicker. The brand is Gamblin and they make a lot of good oil painting supplies, although I do prefer Windsor and Newton paints
Ah yes, I do add water for light underpaintings sometimes (instead of paint thinner I guess).
Thanks for the explanation, that cleared things up (I use Cobra, tried W&N and it felt as good, but it's those hydro soluble oils so...) and see you around here!
