De-mystify Mediums
Join Chris of Utrecht for a thorough discussion that will set the record straight on oil mediums and priming materials. We will look at the properties and effects of different oil mediums and evaluate the archival quality of them. For a better understanding we will look at samples of mediums that have dried and mediums that are sill wet. We’ll also explore priming materials and learn about the characteristics of the all the different options, as well as the archival quality of them. This discussion will shed some light on the complex yet necessary painting materials involved when creating a successful painting.
