Awesome revelation!

Wish I was there to have seen it.
Anyway, that's why I gave up oils, I too made them muddy... I would keep noodling at them and didn't know when to stop and then suddenly I would realize...

YUCK!

I do miss the smell of turpentine, though.
In the end I switched to acrylics... they dry fast and there is no time for noodling the paint... and I employ a technique of translucent layers to create a rich affect and everyone thinks my fine art paintings are oils, but they aren't. It fools them.
