Sennelier Turner Transparent Medium
Does anyone else here use Sennelier's Turner Transparent Medium? I don't have a clue as to what's in it, but it is beautiful. A gel, and a bit pricey ($11-12 or more a tube), it is nonetheless the very best material I've ever used for an application that is extremely thin but even and true in hue and value. One of my instructors was introduced to it in the course of a painting in which he was trying to superimpose fog into a landscape, and it worked beautifully. I occasionally fight large background areas, winding up with blotchy-looking coverage (and in dark areas, you can't just slather on more paint), and a small addition of this medium always produces the most fantastic results. You stand there at the easel and go from idiot to savant in a few moments.
Then of course you wake up, or your spouse drops by.
