The use or non use of mediums




Hello all,

I've recently been working in a new way than ever before. I've been putting my complete color sceme on the wood panel ith acrylics, then going into the refinements with oil. My final layers are fairly dry brush scumbling using no medium and no turp. In some cases the layers become rather thick as I go back the following days to scumble again over dried areas. It seems like a fine enough way to work. Are there any thoughts out there about the dangers to the painting in the future if I don't use medium or turp? My biggest fear is that my galleries will one day tell me something horrible like:

"Anthony, we've been getting phone calls over the past few months from people who bought your work within the last three years and they all say green creepies are growing in the thickly painted areas. They all want there money back. Get your check book out!!!"
Anthony
