Pretty much all of it was challenging, before this I did a bunch of oil paintings with the Blockx mediums and oil paints. I just found the Blockx Amber Painting Solution very yellowing and dark, so I made my own painting varnish that is very thick and reddish colored. I've tested it since then and it works splendidly.

I also invented ways to clarify linseed and walnut oils and I'm presently working on a painting of a dead rat in a mousetrap (even more difficult than this one!) that I hope to try out my new final varnish on. (Painting varnish you mix with your paint when you work, final varnish is applied as a protective layer after the painting is completed).

I've tried all kinds of varnishes and mediums sold in the art stores since the 1990's and the ones I make beat everything out there if the correct processes are used. The best test of this is when I go to sand a layer after painting it with my mediums and varnishes. With Blockx it sands quite easily with ground pumice stone, but with mine it barely scratches the surface. I like this because it gives me the ability to just remove the oil layer and leave the areas I've painted underneath in place.

Check out some of my products on https://davidnoll.earth. My website is not for the faint of heart, its very ant-vax and controversial. I have nazi symbols in my work, but I'm no nazi and was trying to point people to the facts that medical experimentation on unwilling participants is exactly what lunatic Dr. Mengele practiced during the Third Reich.

It is my hope that nations and society everywhere will one day respect people's informed consent when it comes to medicines or vaccination. There's a lot of people no longer with us because we got 2020-2023 wrong.
