Brush dip as painting medium
Hey everyone, I accidentally used brush dip as a medium as I had it in a similar cup as my linseed oil. I only used a very minimal amount working on an under painting, just a few drops here and there. Should I totally wipe it out? Or will it be ok? Thanks

The occasional dip into brush dip ain’t going to be a problem to regulate consistency. I do it often.
Brush dip contains some of the same ingredients as in the normal medium. Brush dip is 98% oil and 2% clove. The general rule is to increase the oil content as you go, which is what the brush dip is doing.

I have to add some colors that are not in the Geneva line of available colors in order to get the colors I want in my paintings.
Yes. No problems using brush dip with other paint brands. DMPrs expect more from a medium than can be provided by the brush dip. Mix up some slow dry medium and keep a small bottle handy to adjust consistency.
