Linseed oil?




I have been painting for less than a year, not counting some dabbling 20 years ago. I have been mixing turpenoid natural with my paints, to varying degrees. The fumes from odorless turpenoid bother me, so I'm not even going to try turpentine. That's all I've been using and my paints are Windsor Newton.

What are the benefits of mixing paint with linseed oil or any other medium? If linseed oil is used, should you use it consistently throughout the portrait?

It's wonderful to have the opportunity to communicate on a forum with other portrait artists, including those whose work I greatly admire!
