What is a binder? How do I dilute or thin the paint to make a glaze? What must I do to mix a highly saturated colour?

This book is structured around the three most widely used mediums: acrylic, oil, and mixed techniques that combine both, as well as the use of pigments and fillers.

Closely linked to the procedures and tools are all the techniques that will grant each painter access to a wide range of resources and effects including gradients, glazes, washes, fresco casting, sketching, and a host of layered effects.
