Hello to all.
One of the members of my household is an asthmatic and any solvent would set her attacks off. From the time I was 14 years old, she would sit with me whilst I painted. With age, she developed asthma.
So I used the illness as an opportunity to learn to paint without solvents and pigments with no pronounced drying properties. Brushes are wiped clean on paper rags, washed in sunflower oil or soap if I am done for the week. The studio is more or less scent free.
Today, everything is as it was when I was 14. Life is good.
