## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used to tranparentize you oil for use on wet on wet technique?**
A: yea.

**Q: is this odorless and can I wash my brushes with it?**
A: No, though it does not have a strong odor. And no, technically it will remove pigment from your brushes but I wouldn't recommend it. First it is way too expensive to use like that, second you would have to wash it again to remove the medium anyway. I would recommend an actual oil paint brush cleaner such as mineral spirits (Gamsol is a great non-toxic one) or a citrus solvent. If you need an alternative cleaner, vegetable oil works well to get pigment off brushes and then you wash with soap.

**Q: The image of the bottle has 8.5 fl oz on it.....the description is confusing because it states 8.5 fl oz, 16 fl oz and16.9 floz....which one is it?!**
A: 8.5 oz.

**Q: Can this be used with water mixable oils.?**
A: It is not water mix able but might work with your water mix able oils if you forego using water and use them as just oil based paint.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My go to medium
*by S***N on August 25, 2018*

Love this! It's an absolute must for oil painting. A little goes a long way and makes any oil paint seem smooth, buttery and goes on Like a dream. Only issue is that one really needs just a tiny bit to make the paint move smoothly or working wet on wet is not an option
