PURCHASED GENEVA PAINTS
Hello everybody, I haven't posted on here for some time!!!
I have just purchased a set of Mark's paints, they have only just become available in Australia. My question is am I able to use Mark's DELQ with these paints? I'm just wondering about oiling out as well, what would I use to oil out dried areas of my painting.
Looking forward to your very helpful answers. Thanks in advance.

Welcome back. Loooooong time.
Geneva is delivered ready to use. No solvents used. Canvas ready consistency. No DELQ or SDM needed.
Oiling out will work fine with linseed or walnut oil.

Fast and speedy as usual, I can't wait to start using them. So I can clean my brushes in the walnut oil and wipe with a paper towel and then carry on and all will be fine!!
Best to suspend, say six brushes in an immersion bath of walnut wth 2% clove oil - 2 dark, 2 mid and 2 light. Towel off excess before use. Brushes will remain in optimal condition indefinitely.
For a big canvas I would have two or three such suspension baths going at once. No milking the blacks or greying the whites.
