Paint out of the tube is just pigment in linseed oil, walnut oil or other kinds of oils.
So, does that mean that if you add turps to your paint that the paint straight out of the tube is actually fatter? So it would seem that adding "some kinds of medium" to your paint would actually make it leaner.
If you mix your own medium using oils, varnish, and turps, then if you add that to your paint, will it be leaner or fatter?
And what about glazing? I think that the standard glazing recipe is 1 part oil, 1 part varnish, and one part turps, so is your glaze actually leaner than the tube paint, because the tube paint has only oil in it? So, then are you glazing lean over fat?
Now everyone, keep your sense of humor here.
