If you added things like quartz powder, ground glass or any type of glittery material to your painting, wouldn't it then be a mixed media painting instead of an oil painting? At what point do we consider something a painting or just arts and crafts? Maybe if no one could tell what secret ingredient was used? Would contemporary peers consider that cheating? If such a paint product was possible, wouldn't Gamblin or some other paint wizard have done it? Or maybe we should use diamond dust! What an expensive painting that would be! I'd better watch out or Steven will patent it!
