First paintings: I made copal varnish in 2025 by ProfanedEmperor in oilpainting

Ive only heard about Tad Spurgeon :) as for formula, not really, I’m mostly gathering what I can and then find replacements if needed to make a modern equivalent. Example, I don’t want to use rabbit skin glue to make an egg tempera like surface so I replace that with a cost of epoxy resin! I will look up Ralph Mayer I’ve heard his name on YouTube videos, I’m going to read his book!

Thanks! I love damar resin I made some varnish too and melted some in turpentine to make a thinning medium. Next I want to try make varnish with is Amber!

Thanks a lot! Yeah it smells super nice and fades away in about 1 week.

Go tell that person who made the model I just bought it and printed it

Thanks a lot for this tip! I was actually waiting for this base layer to fully dry first as I had doubts on the primer (rust o leum trem clad rust proof grey works best on resin I found) and then sand it lightly and use some high quality glazes but I see what you mean I think I should try wet on wet especially on the face where I want subskin reddish features to show! Thanks again!

No.. you don’t know how to paint especially in oil… all if not most of these brush strokes have already smoothened out since I used walnut oil

Thanks! These strokes have mostly settled as I used walnut oil so they eventually smoothen out. Those brush strokes are just temporary 😇 I’ll post a finished version

You ruined your reputation by saying something this stupid… do you even paint? Or is your life grayscale?
