Description

Sennelier truly is the benchmark of quality and innovation in the fine art world. 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, transparency, and depth of color, and fixes brushstrokes and increases gloss. Allows oil colors 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 medium gives the brushstrokes (even when using impasto techniques) a varnished, enamel finish. Also suitable for glazing and modeling.
