| has gloss | eng: Megilp is an oil painting medium consisting of a mixture of mastic varnish and an oil medium: walnut,linseed,safflower, poppy, black oil(linseed oil cooked with litharge or white lead]] etc. It makes oil paint thin, glossy, and easy to work with a extremely short drying time; however, the archival quality is much disputed, some claim the paint tends to become yellow and brittle where as some claim that is improperly prepared Meglip and that its longevity is excellent(check Anne Schuler and Jacques Maroger's works and the longevity seems to be considerably great). |
