I've always assumed the fat over lean referred to the oil, in the oil paint being thinned down with the turp, (or other medium). But I guess it could also mean the bulk being thinned down to a runny substance... just a question of semantics... as my sister says never assume, it makes an ass out of u and me... thanx for the replyChartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04071210758198185194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328772998071340147.post-62610392850916025372011-04-04T11:48:42.209-07:002011-04-04T11:48:42.209-07:00Having very little experience with oils, I probabl...Having very little experience with oils, I probably shouldn't be making such statements. <br />Though not a true metaphor, I find that through the use of medium, extender, and even water, I get a paint mixture that feels more fatty than other puddles of paint that have been slowly drying out on my palette and my painting. The tackier the paint, the more it has a tendency to pull at the paint already laid down, but the "wetter" paint is easier to lay on top without removing anything below. It just leaves the brush more easily.<br /><br />Hope that makes some sense.<br /><br />gringoJ.Farnsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142521252483461022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328772998071340147.post-52875895835693072822011-04-03T19:05:36.508-07:002011-04-03T19:05:36.508-07:00how do you do "fat" over "lean"...how do you do "fat" over "lean" with acrylics? there isn't any fat in them?Chartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04071210758198185194noreply@blogger.com
