Description
Flemish drying medium - liquid
- contains natural copal resin, linseed oil, odourless diluent (petroleum essence) and drying agent - for oil painting
- can be diluted with turpentine essence or petroleum essence
- this medium accelerates the drying of oil colors and greatly increases the brightness of the colors thanks to copal resin, having a glossy finish
- the layer is fixed (i.e. drying on the surface) in approx. 2 hours and normal drying in 2 days
- gives transparency and fluidity to the colors
- It is one of the mediums with the fastest drying speed but in return, being dark in color, it slightly shades the white and light colors - but in a way for many this can become an advantage, because it keeps the work in an overall chromatic harmony.
- ideal for creating glazes (Flemish glazes)
The composition of oil paints has gradually evolved from the Van Eyck brothers, around 1410, to the present day. Resin has played a fundamental role in the field of painting and also in the preservation of paintings. It is very important to understand the importance of painting mediums that contain recipes from that time because they allow you to paint in the style of that era and thus we have the opportunity to go back in time, to try to discover the great masters! A painting medium is actually an ideal mixture created to aid oil painting. An oil painting medium generally contains linseed oil or other oils, a solvent, and a natural or synthetic resin.
What is glaze and how is it obtained?
- Glazing, glazing, wash or glaze - (transparent like glass) - is a painting technique achieved by applying transparent layers of color over another (on an opaque background) in order to create visual effects of depth through the subtle optical interaction of layered colors.
