There have been many interesting points brought out here, although on a slightly different note, I have read that Rembrandt used a quartz powder and sometimes a glass powder to help create that sparkle effect that some of his paintings have. I've asked some of the better art supply stores about this and got no positive responce. Also it would be interesting to know more about the mediums used by Titian.
