Thanks Karin, for your feedback. The medium is oils and no I did not use Liquin. I did for many years but now I mix my own 1/3 dammar, 1/3 turp and 1/3 linseed. I do a layering technique shown to me by another portrait artist and that is as some of old masters with linseed actually rubbed onto the painting along with the juice of an onion, all in between each addition of painting.(Flemish techniques) The layers are very thin glazes. Therefore, I have several paintings going at once so the layers may dry. Do you use Liquin all over the entire painting when finished and then dammar? Patt
