When I did the lady Agnew portrait, I had a problem with erratic shininess (kind of dry area here and there). I know that using only oil and liquin defeat the law of fat on lean. I know that raw umber repels oil (Xavier de Langlais dixit) and I don't understand why many artist still use that color. How do you deal with theese issues? Do you rely only on a final varnish?

The nostrils are not at the same height; scrutinizing...

She has kind of reversed winking, kind of a Spock look at something interesting.

Hi Kin, I can't seem to reproduce this issue on my computer. Can I ask which browser, device and country you are streaming from?

One thing I found interesting, is that you say that a lot of artists tend to do bigger eyes because we see so much in the eyes. I just, this week, heard someone say that they keep coming across artist they teach making the eyes too small. So thought it was interesting. Wonder if there's a study on this? probably too obscure xD but would be interesting. I've only come across making them too big before.

Thinning is difficult- I focus on not using as much paint initially. After that there is only linseed oil. Painting in a non toxic way does have some sacrifices as well...

Hi Stephen, I am a beginner in oil painting and I'm worried about toxicity of some materials. How can I thin oil paint in a nontoxic way?

I’m so excited to do this. I’m going to try to follow what you’re doing in oils and translate that to pastel as I have no oil palette experience yet. Someday I’ll redo it in oils.

Sounds good.

I am really excited about studying this piece. However - oils just aren't an option right now for me sadly. Too stinky/messy. Maybe I can do the prep drawing, then have a go at the full thing once oils become an option in my space...
