    Oil Painting Mediums Demo

    Hey guys,

    I made this video a while ago and went through several types of oil painting mediums and how they're different. I know when I first started I had no idea where to begin when it came to mediums or why i'd even want to use more than one.




    Let me know what you guys think and any recommendations for future vids! Hope it helps!

    I hope you don't use that much medium in your paintings.

    Always remember: use as much as neccessary and as less as possible.

    What's good is that you don't use these strange mixtures by manufacturers where you don't exactly know what's in it. In Germany for example we have "Medium 1", "Medium 2" ... by SCHMINKE. You can't tell what's in it. So using the most basic medium is best.

    I used to use Liquin Light Gel often but now I just use Linseed Oil.
