My Thoughts on the Fat over Lean Rule

This is not like the formula paintings Bob Ross created that so many artists around the world have come to love. My painting style is based on principles professional artists use like abstract color shapes, edge quality for greater realism, shadow and highlight, color theory or convincing color relationships and establishing correct values throughout the painting.

Hi thank you for this video. How does mediums like Neo Megilp effect fat over lean?

[@elisabethseeger5837]

That used to be true of Vasari, but lately when I use Vasari paint a LOT of oil is coming out even after a tube has been in use!! Very disappointed . Never had that with them before

H E L P ANYONE! - How do I follow the fat over lean rule when using fast dry Walnut Alkyd Medium. Since each layer will dry quickly, can I then ignore the fat over lean rule for the next and next layers? It makes sense to me but I can't find an answer anywhere. As long as each layer is drying faster than the next one above it, that seems to make each previous layer ok to paint upon by using the same amount of Walnut Alkyd Medium. Is this logic correct? I've been delayed months now in painting oil portraits because I must be sure my work is archival before I sell an oil portrait. ..... Thanks for any clarification on this subject. ......

I own 2 150 ml. tubes of Lefranc titanium white and the only pigment listed on the tube is PW6. Are you saying they put zinc in it but they don't list it on the tube?
