Venetian Medium is based on research that 16th century Venetian painters added powdered glass to their paint. Contains leaded crystal glass powder, pale bodied linseed oil and turpentine, with small amounts of wax and lead. Use Venetian Medium as a glazing medium that is fast drying and offers the glaze brilliance due to the crystal glass particles. Spread thinly onto the surface and paint directly into it as a couch or add directly to paint nut. Smooths the edges of 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 paint on the palette to give colours 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 longer, flowing consistency.
