SENNELIER VAN EYCK MEDIUM
Use Sennelier Van Eyck Medium when you wish to work transparently using the glazing method. Use preferably with transparent or semi-transparent colours. Medium with a gel-like consistency, based on mastic resin and oil thickened in the presence of metal oxides. Thixotropic. It has an easy application, fixes brushstrokes and increases gloss, transparency and depth of colour. Allows oil colours to be superimposed rapidly, even when paint is fresh, without diluting the underlying coats. For rough sketches, thin the medium with turpentine or petroleum spirits. Enrich as the work proceeds. Provides rapid setting followed by progressive drying. Van Eyck mediums gives the brushstrokes (even when using impasto techniques) a varnished, enamel finish. Also suitable for glazing and modelling. Available in a 40ml tube. Price per tube.
