Alkyding aside
Liquin yellows with age. All Alkyd mediums ruin brushes. They are fraught with problems. It has to do with the way they dry. Alkyd is another modern invention that falls way short of the promise.
To shorten drying times use flake white and cold pressed linseed oil. Just like Rembrandt, Ruebens and Van Dyke did. Sargent used stand oil. Their paintings turned out pretty well.
Just remember, the medium doesn't paint or draw, the artist does.
