I’ve gathered ideas as generated by Kimberly Brooks from, the book, “The New Oil Painting”. I’ve mixed the medium using 2:1 ratio of linseed oil to marble dust.
My painting was semi dry to the touch. It is a good sign. My project with marble dust, linseed oil and Raw Umber should succeed.
Tonight, I purchased a couple of brown medicine jars with droppers mounted in the caps. I took some of the medium and put it into the small 1.5 OZ. or 2 OZ. jars, so I can develop my Raw Umber mini-Plein Aire set-up that will be used at the BCAC (Broome County Arts Counsel) life study on the 1st and 3rd of each month. The big take away is that it is fully non-toxic and solvent free, which is a must in that environment.
