Historical paint making practices
Hi
Do we know anything about the pigment volume concentrations (PVC) used used to make paint by painters in the past such as Vermeer or Jan van Eyke? Or the % bodied oil to regular oil they used when making their paints? Does the painting best practices course cover these historical aspects at all?

There is no literary information about the painting-making practices of Van Eyck, but we can infer a great deal based on what conservation scientists find in his paintings and those of his contemporaries. We cover some of this information in the Painting Best Practices webinar.
