Thanks for they reply, Karin.

It's my understanding at the Covino workshops the students use Liquin for the underpainting, retouch varnish over the dried underpainting, then the Covino painting medium for everything else, including the glazes. I guess I was asking if this was correct.

Also, I never got much out of using retouch varnish between layers. I was wondering if I was missing something there. I used it once when I had matte/dull sections, but otherwise I was gonna drop the retouch.

Opinions welcome ...
