About Me
- Bill
- Glendale, Arizona, United States
- I am an artist working in oils and watercolors. I have been painting for over 25 years. I have a BS degree in industrial education, and over 40 years as a color separator in the lithographic trade, where I worked on copy cameras, scanners, and, more recently, in Photoshop, and now I am retired from that vocation. I also taught color theory and application at Arizona State University. I enjoy painting, and all my subjects are for sale, unless marked "SOLD." I recently resigned from teaching an oil painting class at a local recreation center, which I did for 9 years, but I still offer private lessons on my glazing technique. I am a conservative, American, Capitalist sort of an artist, and today we have a blithering idiot as President of this United States of America, in the form of Sleepy Joe Biden! He is truly the worstt president I've experienced in my lifetime, and I lived through most of WWII ! Best wishes to our past president, Donald Trump, with sincere hopes that he runs for President once more, so that we may experience the excellence, and common sense that we realized under his administration!! williamfmartin@cox.net Bill Martin ___________________________
was reading your posts back in'13 about the flaws with alkyds. Wondered if your opinions had changed. I come from a music background and there was a general dismay with digital recording when it first came out. Most purists wanted to continue using 2" analog tape. However, now in Nashville you can find a studio without a powerful hard drive and most accept that digital has progressed enough that it's advantages outweigh the negatives. What about it?
ReplyDeleteNo, my opinion has not changed regarding the use of alkyd mediums with traditional oil paint. If you wish to use alkyd medium, then merely use alkyd paint to go with it. Even Winsor & Newton has stated that their Liquin (alkyd) should not have much Linseed Oil added to it, ....and....Linseed Oil is the very "stuff" of which traditional oil paint is composed.
