... I shall try your recipie!
Jeanine: Glad you will try the recipe. Just a note on how it is used. For glazing, I crush paint into a small amount of medium and paint it on very thinly. For opaque passages, I spray the medium from a PreVal sprayer and paint into it. I don't mix it with my paint at all. This ensures that my paint film is at least 80% paint to medium except in the glazed passages. I think the medium is strong enough to hold the glazes over time, but I use just enough medium to get a brushable fluid and I apply it very thin as I said.
