I dont tend to varnish my alkyd paintings!!! Ready to varnish sooner than Oils I read Vivien's post with interest. I have taken to using watersoluble oils because I love the ease of cleaning up with them. What I need now is an alkyd watersoluble oil paint - any paint manufacturer out there listening to my plea?
I am reading with great interest and sympathy of your venture into oils. I too did some research and asked lots of questions before I ventured in. If I can say anything to help based on my learning, it is to remember how incredibly tactile this art thing is, that no matter how much research and theory, with oil in particular, the learning is only in the Doing.
It'll work for you when you are Feeeeeeling it. Also, only listen with half an ear to anything you are told, for your own instincts will tell you more, once you get started. Its not, no matter what we think, a theory subject. And, finally, don't worry about trying to make oils dry more quickly - often often it is when they aren't dry that the fun is happening.
Its just not like any other medium! In fact, don't worry about any of it at all. Enjoy the ride. Without thinking about the outcome. And if you don't like it, hey - it doesn't matter! And if you love it, hey - that's yummy! Warmest wishes. I'm the original tactile person Julie when it comes to art - and thanks for the reminder!
One of the reasons I love dry media is that the contact between me and the media and the support is down to the bare essentials. I actually can't use some pastels or pencils because they don't give me the type of feedback I like or the control I want.
It's a bit like driving a car and the feel for the car you get from the driving pedals etc. I look at it a bit like this. Because the binder in an alkyd paint is a strong resin, it is very resistant to damage. Therefore, many people use them in high traffic areas of their homes such as hallways. The resin binder is also resistant to moisture; therefore, it is a good paint for use in the kitchen or bathroom.
People with children often like alkyd paints in areas where the children will be playing. Furthermore, alkyd paint retains its sheen for much longer than other types of paint. Due to the strong adherence of the resin binder, you can actually apply alkyd paint over a latex paint. You can also apply it over unfinished wood.
One thing to keep in mind is that water-based and latex paints have quicker drying time. They take about 30 minutes to dry to touch. This can be a big? Painting over alkyd with another alkyd paint or oil-based paint is recommended for the best looking results.
Alkyd and oil-based paints are very thick and adhere nicely to a wall that has already been painted with alkyd or oil-based paints. The results will look very polished and high quality. The downside to using these types of paints is that they can be harmful if not painted in a ventilated area and the supplies must be disposed of properly. Painting projects don?
While it is important to research before making painting decisions, hiring professionals will take the guesswork out of the equation.
