Christine, thank you so much! I am good to copy things :). I already used to rely on cane.

I agree Laura, you're a very good student. Your painting definitely has a very similar fell to Michaels. Good job!

I think that Jon is correct here; linseed oil darkens and yellows with age and exposure to UV light reverses the process. This is why many color companies use safflower oil as an alternative for some of their whites; disadvantage is longer drying time and weaker paint film with most drying oils compared to linseed oil. If you want to have your oils dry faster, use an alkyd medium (Liquin, Galkyd, etc.). Stu

Thanks Jon, I will need to research that further.

Re Michaels' comment "the hot sun will darken the oils in the painting", that's interesting, I thought I remembered reading somewhere that to "revive' the colors of oil paintings that have been inside for a long time, you should put them in the sun ... ? ...
