I would also be interested in your opinion on amber medium and varnish Virgil. I guess Tricia is referring to the Blockx product, a very expensive darkish liquid packaged in a slender glass tube sealed with a cork and red sealing wax. It's a joy to get open.

One part amber medium is mixed with 5 parts cold pressed linseed oil. Very little of the amber is needed.

Unfortunately I was unable to experiment fully with this medium being allergic to solvents, but I know a few artists who swear by it.
