Venetian Medium 50ml

Venetian Medium is an oil-painting medium based on the research that 16th-century Venetian painters added powdered glass to their paint. Venetian Medium contains leaded crystal glass powder, the palest-bodied linseed oil, sun-thickened walnut oil with small amounts of wax, odorless mineral spirits, and lead drier. Spread thinly onto the surface and paint directly into it as a couch or add directly to the paint nut. Smooths the edges of the brush or knife strokes. Venetian Medium is fast setting and dries to a satin finish.

Directions: Spread thinly onto the surface and paint directly into it or mix directly into the paint on the palette to give colors a flowing consistency that holds brush strokes yet dries to a satin finish. Use to oil out or as a painting couch by rubbing a thin layer onto completely dried paint. Gives paint a more extended, flowing consistency.

Recommendation: To prevent Venetian Medium from skinning in the can while in storage, add a small amount of linseed oil, covering the surface of the medium.
