Oil paints on paper

[David Clemons]

You're welcome Enzie.

I probably shouldn't have used the term "spoil" since what it does is more like deteriorate when left in solution too long. I usually mix up about a pint at a time and use it within a few months. The dry flakes last indefintely as far as I know.

I imagine the Constables I saw were sized with gelatin. Many areas of the paper were left unpainted, but the paper was a bright white.

David,

I looked at the site you recommended and I am thinking of ordering a 4 oz bottle of DEWAXED GOLDEN ORANGE SHELLAC

Is this the right one or do you recommend something else?
