Warning
I've been researching this too. For one thing his work looks great, still little cracking etc. unlike Sargent and other greats. The really informed guys say the "new found" book out about his work and methods may be mostly bunk. They say it doesn't sound even close. Beeswax, oil of Lavender (which smells great) and years of practice, and resins, oils, maybe two or 3 for each painting. I think these recipes are a bit like baking bread...having the ingredients and finding success (merely getting the mediums right) are two very different things.
