Is it absolutely necessary to use a medium?

[Jean Kelly]

Hi Michelle, happy new year!

I normally take information as a guide only. Learned long ago that there are no absolutes in anything. If I start accepting black and white rules I miss all the greys and colors of the rainbow in between. But those guidelines are necessary evils to a solid foundation to experimentation.

By delaminating do you mean that the layers of paint separated? Did they begin to flake off? If so I'll watch for it in the future. My Liquin is almost gone anyway and the next victum of my experimentation is linseed oil. I'll watch for these problems in the future.
