Wow, wow, WOW! Forgive me while I get REALLY excited! I painted this piece yesterday ...and it was dry today! I had previously been using a mixture of stand oil, linseed oil, and mineral spirits as a medium, but tried Winsor & Newton's Liquin for the first time yesterday. I didn't notice any difference, in terms of difficulties, while I was painting...it allowed the paint to spread nicely without diluting it ...but WOW (have I said that before?) does it ever decrease the drying time of oils! I may no longer have to wait nearly two weeks to scan. This is definitely a good thing. Have any of you had experience with Liquin? I welcome your thoughts.

Hi Brenda. I've been using Liquin for two years now. We were told about it at painting school by one of the teachers. She recommended it for glazing, and for its overnight drying. It also leaves a nice surface sheen, so there is no need to varnish. It's the only medium to use. I'm so glad you have blogged about it.
Great painting! Very dynamic and exciting.
CAN ALL YOU LITTLE CREATURES SEE NOW???? looks like natures flashlight...hahaha Beyond beautiful!!!!! hugs to you brenda
Incredible light in this one. Beautiful. I learned about liquin in Tim Horn's workshop. T]Really liked it but boy does it smell. Great for plein air but not so sure about studio work.
Beautiful! I love the way the light shines through the petals giving it a transparent look. Nice job
Wow wow wow about your painting! I love Eileen's comment about it being nature's flashlight. Wonderful light.
I started using Liquin because my first instructor had it on her list of supplies. Thank goodness I never had to learn to mix my own. I love how fast the paint dries. I also always put a coat or two on the finished dry painting to give it a just-painted shine. It does have an oder, but I generally only put about a teaspoon of it on the palette, so it doesn't bother me.
I use Liquin but just tried walnut oil for the first time. Love your painting. Really has a nice abstraction.
another WOW!!
Nice blog and paintings! I will be back.
