tbh the biggest risk in oil painting now is if you use linseed oil, wouldn't kill you but can leave a nasty burn (first hand experience here, spilt some on my hand and just rubbed it in before googling if it was skin safe), also can randomly combust, so thats fun. but people really oversell the dangers, like oil paints were allowed in highschool so it isn't exactly going to be pure poison

I feel you. I’ve been coming up against this myth for so long & still people see oils as toxic. 😅

may I ask about oil paint when used in a small house with low ventilation? I really want to paint with oils but I am not sure of the safety under such conditions

My professors always told me that the biggest risks are putting your brushes in your mouth or biting your nails and accidentally eating paint. One of my professors was 78 and still teaching and never had a job other than oil painting.

The only toxic things I could say about oil paints is literally some of the cadmium pigments and the paint thinner. idk ppl think all of oil planting is toxic

You saying this makes me want to use my oil paints I got a while ago. I was terrified of using them.

What can I use to clean brushes in between changing colors instead of turpenoid? Also is Gamsol ok?

I didn’t know that was in acrylic! The main reason I haven’t gotten oils is my worry about accidentally bumping into my paintings, worry I’d forget to not bunch up my cloth, and also just how to use it ❤️BUT NEVER would I say it’s dangerous when there are so many ways to make it safe😭 like both of them can be toxic but we were just mainly told acrylic was safe when we were kids even though it’s not😭❤️

THIS!!! There are genuinely so many misconceptions when it comes to oil paint and safety. I’m solvent-free; you do not need solvents to oil paint.
