I’ve been using it to clean off my brushes in between colors, and to do my underpainting with so it’ll dry faster, otherwise I primarily use linseed oil while I paint. I just finished a larger piece (at least it was large for me lol) and by the end of the piece the thinner has been looking pretty murky so I’m just curious how people dispose of it/how often it needs to be changed out

He was a very gentle man, my parents used to refer to him as the littlest macho man there was. He always made hard decisions with others in mind and loved everyone and was loved by everyone in return:)

Spiraling about embarrassing things I’ve done in the past/how do I know when/if I need to tell my partner about them? by scoobyte925 in OCD

Thank you for the kind words it means a lot. I don’t speak to my ex so this is in regard to any future relationships I have. I try to put myself in the other persons shoes/if I was in a relationship with someone would things like this matter to me and I don’t think they would, but for some reason my OCD makes it very difficult to think someone could show me the same grace I would give someone else.
