Solvents, Mediums, Varnishes & Gesso Primers

Solvents, Mediums, Varnishes & Gesso Primers are an essential part of painting.  Paint is only as usable as the mediums you add to it.  Likewise you need a good ground to paint onto so a good quality primed surface is important.

Protection of the finished work is also an important element to your work, so choose a recognised brand of varnish to apply once the painting is finished and fully dry.
