    Thanks! After reading the article on water-miscible oils, I have decided to use traditional oils for my underpainting instead! Would the best solvent-free method for traditional oils be to use paint straight from the tube, spread as thinly as possible, and then wait for it to dry fully before painting the subsequent layer, which would have a bit of oil medium added? Does it matter what colors I use, ie is it better to use faster-drying colors for the underpainting?
