thanks kelly, here's my sister
p.s. the previous post will be more clear with the new title of turpentine in oaxaca

turpentine


down there is where i bought my first bottle of turpentine
i got it at house painting paint store
the second bottle was purchased at the Frieda Kahlo art supply store.
the reason i had to get two different bottles is because the the first one i got acted and seemed more like rubbing alcohol.
the next bottle was venician turpentine which is actually quite thick, pure larch tree sap. i mixed the two and was able to paint.
