Richard,

I thought that when you say fat over lean it only refers to the application of the paint as in putting paint thinner then thicker the next time around. I never thought that it was applied to the medium as refering for the drying time. So I now understand that it is not the paint but the medium that should be fatter on top. Now I got it. I was afraid before to do glazing because you put less paint on top as for translucent effects or for refinement and thought that it might get into cracking. But I really find it hard sometimes to finish painting as ala prima because it can't do it all. So now I'll experiment on glazing and try to see what's good for my works. Actually I was painting awhile ago and tried to use my painting medium called "glazing medium" made by Talens. I add some turp to thin it down and as I work on it I find it really good. I'll just wait for another day when it's dry and see what would the result be.

Thank you for all the information. It really helped me alot.

Xander
