What Are the Benefits of Using Mediums Produced by Alchemist, Inc.? 

1. Allows paint to be applied in a vertical position without running.
2. Allows artist to reproduce the vivid and transparent colors and glowing surfaces associated with Baroque and Renaissance oil and panel paintings.
3. Alchemist painting mediums paint out thinly, allowing for special glazing effects not achievable with modern mediums, thus avoiding the yellowing and lowering in tone of paintings associated with thicker paint media.
4. Allows the artist to apply multiple layers vertically without waiting for the previous layer to dry.
5. Paint transparently as well as opaquely.
6. Create fine details far more effectively and without the use of tempera mediums such as egg, glue or casein.
7. Amber mediums are manufactured using traditional methods used in the XVI century.
8. Amber-based mediums create tough films, thereby eliminating the need of a separate final coat of varnish. The work is finished as it comes off the brush.
9. Produce a tough, resilient surface which, upon drying, resists solvents giving you a permanent, stable finished product.
10. Step-by-step instructions for using mediums are provided with purchase, with a printable version online.
