Prav123 Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hi, I am new when it comes to onglaze painting. To be honest I don't know much about what I am using, i.e, I have been supplied powdered colours which I mix with oils to paint. I use something known as 'Pen oil' for outline work. I mix this pen oil with my powdered colours, it turns into a liquid. However, I have run out of pen oil and can't get a new batch because of the pandemic. I was wondering if there are any alternatives to this? I have something known as 'fast drying medium' which is also an oil. Can I use something like linseed oil mixed with turpentine oil to mix with the powdered colours and paint? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kielb Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Sounds like China paints where the medium is most often up to the preference of the artist. Here is a nice article that may help and interest you with descriptions of various mediums (oil) and some favorite recipes. http://www.porcelainpainters.com/mediums.htm About two thirds through the recipes you will find many pen media recipes.
