This is an alkyd painting, the first strokes were dry in three hours. It's a very fast medium.

 Love palette knife paintings and other paintings with lots of texture for some reason.  Very fresh, very nice.
 May I ask you, Don, do you consider separate alkyd tube oils necessary these days with all the alkyd mediums that can be used with regular oils?  I have a stash of Alkyds that I believe I'll just not replace once they are gone. They are more apt to harden in the tube and cause be a great deal of physical effort to get the paint out.  What do you think?  Brownie

Tubes, no, alkyd yes. It does yellow like any other oil but it's great to work fast.
I made a small eye dropper bottle of turp and Galkyd Oil, 75:25, I think that's what Gamblin calls it. It works great and I just use it as a medium, drop by drop.
