Covino Glaze Medium over Liquin for portraits?

[Minh Thong]

Thanks for all the help, folks. Since the original post I picked up the Meyer text, Covino's book, and Faragasso's 'The Student Guide to Painting' so alot of methods, materials, and color questions have been made clearer. I just did my first portrait with Liquin for the verdaccio and the Covino recipe for everything else. I must say, contrary to prevailing wisdom I kinda' prefer the old turps and linseed thing I was doing before.

Thanks again,

Minh

Oh BTW ... Mr. Elliot, I never considered how fast Liquin or Galkyd would dry if used over turps and linseed - sounds like a recipe for disaster. Thanks for bringing that up, I had 'Fat Over Lean' tunnel vision and wasn't looking at the big picture.
