Translucent White

After reading the Dickblick info on water soluble oils, I decided to try a new white mixture. This is in an attempt to create less opaque mixtures of titanium white. I am experimenting on creating richer, more complex whites in my paintings using multiple layers of semi-transparent and translucent paint. The transparency is affected by more linseed and medium in the mixture. Translucency is affected by proportions of interference pigments. I applied a mixture of 1 part titanium white (water soluble oil) to one part heavy gel medium (acrylic). Emulsified it using quickdry medium, linseed oil (both water soluble), and powdered pigment before thinning with water.
