I thought it would be fun to share basic mediums, thinners/brush cleaners and basic proccrure.

So in the spirit of I'll show you mine if you show me yours:

I use Gamblin Neo Meglip as my painting medium.

I use Gamsol as a thinner/brush cleaner.

I build my painting in thin layers, each layer being painted alla prima with little or no glazing. I do, however, employ scumbling.
