i have been hearing about this dot filtering and have some questions. Could I use water soluble oil paints instead of oil soluble oil paints and if not what is the best solvent to use? I heard turpentine works is this true?
On the Bench: Nothing atm
Not sure about a water soluble oil paint. But for the oil soluble ik have used both turps and white spirit without any problems.

It's a matter of control. Oil paints dry with a transparency that would be more difficult to obtain w/water soluble paints. When I do it, I used white sprits.

NO, I would not even try to use water-based paints. Read mt toot and you'll see how versatile and effective oil filters are.
you guys have been mentioning "white spirits" what is it and where can i get it?
Paint supply aisle of any hardware store or Target/K Mart.
Depends what part of the world you're in too. In Australia and the UK, white spirits is the same thing as mineral spirits in the US.
