Does fat over lean in oil painting mean that there must be less and less turpentine?
Lyttleradish
"Fat" oil paint is oil paint right out of the tube. Mixing it with an oil makes it even "fatter" and increases the length of time it takes to dry. Mixing it with turpentine makes it "lean" and it will dry faster.
A thicker, slower drying paint should be used after a thinner, faster drying paint to avoid cracking. In other words, "fat" over "lean".

What material did filippo lippi use for his paintings?
well, what do mean by what materials he painted on? I mean, painted with or painted on. most likely, in 16th c. Spain, and having been educated in Italy, Titian was painting on canvas, made of cotton or perhaps linen canvas, made of the fibers from the linseed plant, which also makes the main component of the oil painting medium. after stretching the canvas or linen, he would have sized the canvas with rabbit skin glue, in order to seal it from the harmful acidic qualities of the linseed oil, which otherwise would eat away over time at the organic fibers of the canvas. after sizing, a lead-based white paint, mixed with variable oil based mediums would be applied as a ground to the support. AT this point, the support is ready for any oil based mediums to be applied to it, including the underpainting layers of drawing and shading that might start a classical painting. The paint applied would start off with pigment mixed with a little linseed oil, a little Damar varnish and then a lot of turpentine. As the painting developed, less turpentine would be added to the mixture, eventually going from lean to fat, or turpentiney thinned color to fatty pure oily color.Answer 2:Titian did NOT work in Spain. He refused to go there and sent by ship to pain the paintings the Emperor commissioned.
