What medium would be the best? My original plan was to use glazing medium found in paint department/stores. The glazes I have seen aren’t very metallic…

I would really like to know what pigments are best for making paint yourself & in particular, ones that would be best to buy already made. I know at least one pigment, maybe more, I have purchased & later found out I probably should have just purchased it already done. Watching the Color Notes & seeing the difference between hand mulled &…

Thank you so much, George! I appreciate it. I do paint in thin layers.

I want to paint over a painting I previously started in oil paint. I have cleaned it & sanded it.
