Water-Mixable Medium #7 - Add to traditional oil colors to make them water-mixable.

Shellac Solution- A Gold Yellow classical natural resin primer. It decreases the absorbency of painting surfaces.

LUKAS Oil Painting Mediums - Mediums and Additives is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 2.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KatBlack from Premixed and ready to apply Bought this to shellac gatorboard for a workshop. I had no interest in dissolving shellac flakes on denatured alcohol so this premixed solution was a great find. It goes on smoothly, dries quickly and the finished product worked well with ala Prima palette knife oil painting—paint goes on smoothly but doesn’t dry out like on a gessoed surface, easy to scrape as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MichaelAngelo from I love the drying quality The medium is great for working a complicated canvas, it dries in a relatively short period of time but not so fast that you can't work it. But, if you work at certain area and want to come back sometime it will have dried by then...work it locally before moving around the canvas.

Working with oil and wax medium, I'm trying for a transparentizer and hardener - kind of like Gamblin's G-gel. Is Lukas Medium #4 compatible with wax? I make my own cold wax medium - beeswax, small amount of damar and orange solvent.

Asked by: upside

Everything about this is wrong. First, the only proper solvent for damar is real turpentine, orange solvent won't cut it. The restorers are now discouraging the use of damar in mediums anyway. It may embrittle the paint film, but more importantly, it is soluble by the solutions that are used to clean paintings. So lose the damar. I have no idea what is in your orange solvent, probably a citrus based solvent that is no safer than one derived from the usual sources, just better smelling. I would hazard a guess that you don't know what is in there either, as the companies that make such gimcracky don't often disclose their proprietary formulas. Lastly, wax melts in heat and cracks in the  cold. It is often problematic in mediums and should be avoided. I know people use it, but lots of them run into trouble, ask Odd Nerdrum about that. Everything about your proposed medium is a mistake, and all of your ingredients  problematic. Lucas #4 is fine, but it dries extremely quickly, thats ok sometimes but it has a very short  open time. It has a nice gloss though.
