How to use Liquin Original?
Liquin Original can be used in a variety of ways, depending on the desired effect. Here are a few ways on how to use it effectively:
- To speed up the drying time of oil paint: Mix a small amount of Liquin Original with your oil paint, about 1 part medium to 3 parts paint. This will help the paint dry faster and allow you to work in layers more quickly. This is particularly useful for artists who prefer to work in layers, as it allows them to apply subsequent layers without waiting for the previous ones to dry. It’s also useful for artists who want to finish a painting quickly, as the medium helps the paint dry faster, allowing them to complete the painting faster.
- To increase gloss: Mix a larger amount of Liquin Original with your oil paint, about 1 part medium to 1 part paint. This will create a glossy, enamel-like finish on your painting. This is useful for creating a more realistic or dramatic effect, as it can make certain areas of the painting appear more shiny or reflective. It’s also useful for creating a more finished or polished look in your painting.
- To create a smoother brushstroke: Mix a small amount of Liquin Original with your oil paint, about 1 part medium to 3 parts paint. This will help the paint flow more easily from your brush and create a smoother, more even stroke. This can be useful for creating fine details and for achieving a more polished look in your painting.
- To use as a varnish: Once your painting is dry, you can use Liquin Original as a varnish by brushing a small amount over the surface. This will create a glossy finish and protect your painting. It’s important to use a small amount and brush it evenly over the painting surface, as overuse can cause yellowing over time.
