linseed oil allergy probably.

*Ahkahna Nov 13, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

It's possible. My nose would freaking GUSH, so any painting I would do would be completely ruined

(

~tabbat8 Nov 13, 2010

yeah. inflammation and drying effect of turps and linseed oil, it sounds like. fortunately your reaction isn't as bad as some i've heard of. i saw one guy end up in the hospital with what they thought was pneumo, only to discover it was a reaction to the painting [ weekend class at community center.].

*Ahkahna Nov 13, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

Oh man, yeah I suppose I got off easy then! I'd rather have a nose bleed than a hospital visit for sure!

~tabbat8 Nov 13, 2010

there are higher quality [ like grumbacher] acrylics available that act like oils in most ways except drying times. give those a go. i use a mix of those and oils in dioramas and on figures, but i've seen excellent work done with them for their original [ canvases ] purpose too.

~RedVioletPanda Nov 11, 2010 Digital Artist

Nope.

*Turtle-Arts Nov 11, 2010 Student Digital Artist

Just for classes. :/

*SEZwho Nov 11, 2010 Student General Artist

I don't prefer using it, I like acrylic better because I don't need to worry about acquiring terpentine (is that spelled right?)

~Neri3 Nov 11, 2010 Student Traditional Artist

it's quite fun when the subject is, but it's way to messy smelly and toxic

=kiikii-sempai Nov 11, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

I'm using them for class and trying to get used to it. They are super finicky, and I always forget to mix up enough of one color... T_T
Plus not so fond of getting paint all over myself, but it seems inevitable.
