Join us for the October 25 Cohorts Meeting on Painting Best Practices as we explore how traditional materials—additives, egg yolk, and animal glue—affect the performance and longevity of paintings.
We’ll review three key articles:

Animal Glue for Artists: Properties, Techniques, and Best Practices — Understand glue selection, gel strength, and moisture control for sizing, gesso, and consolidation.
