Liquin or a fast drying gel medium-helps to get the initial layer to set-up
Zec (optional) by Grumbacher – this will be used in the final layers to build up the paint and gives the paint more body.

Please note: While we recommend making your own painting medium of 1 part Stand oil to 4 parts Thin-X, you may use whatever painting medium you prefer. Please be sure to mix the stand oil and thin-x into a non-spill container PRIOR to the workshop. It’s not a fun task to do outdoors while your trying to paint!

An empty plastic bottled water container works well.
