The piece on the left has three rectangular sections that have had the fluid medium applied to the raw canvas. The rest is dry brush to show how differently the paint reacts in the areas where the fluid medium is. The small pieces on the right were experiments in applying the paint in different methods, as well as thicker or thinner paint.
This is a detail of the area that has the fluid medium on the raw canvas and the dry brush beside it. HUGE difference in how the paint looks with the SAME consistency of paint as well as using the same brush and touch.
You only need a couple drops of the fluid medium in about a cup of water. Stir it up well and then apply to areas of the canvas, or the whole raw canvas. The paint will react just like using the wet on wet technique in watercolor. You can also apply the medium to the paint and by putting a couple drops of paint into a 1/2-1 cup of water with the medium in it. I haven't experimented with that technique yet. So watch for more posts.
