I have been oil painting on and off for nearly four decades and have never been happier than when I paint with M. Graham & Co. walnut oil based paints. I have no stock in the company or affiliate agreement with them. I just love the feel, the richness of the pigment, the glazing properties, etc. Even better, they use a toxin-free base. To enhance drying they offer a walnut alkyd medium. You clean up with walnut oil (safflower oil works too and it is more affordable) and mild detergent.
Sorry for the commercial, but creating oil paintings without poisoning myself and the world is the best thing ever. As my good friend Michael Pearce says, "if you love your liver, use M. Graham paints."

And I do love my liver!
I completely agree with you Mike. Graham are simply the best paints money can buy. Made by a true colour-man, who really knows his business.
I stopped using toxic turpentine years ago thanks to these paints, and love the soap and water clean up.
I must admit I miss the lovely smell though, but that's a small price, imo.
I used M. Graham's walnut oil for brush cleaning, etc when I was pregnant - they do make a great product!!
