Karin,

One question about thinning paint to use for an underpaint. I am trying the flake white replacement instead of the flake white and have found a major difference in the consistency of the two. The replacement seems chalky and not as easy to mix. To remedy this, I have mixed a very small amount of mineral spirits to the FW replacement until is about the same buttery texture as FW. I haven't noticed a problem with my recent underpaints, so will this affect the painting in the long term or while I'm working?

Thanks,
Renee Price
