This is a product anyone who paints with oils will like:
Liquin, a...
reliable favorite (formerly known simply as "Liquin") is a general-purpose low gloss medium that improves flow and transparency. It mixes easily with the brush or knife, smoothes brushwork, and is also suitable for textured oil techniques. Liquin Original approximately halves the drying time of oil colors, resulting in a drying time of anywhere from one to five days, depending on climate, colors used, and film weight. It is not recommended as a varnish or final coat.Applying Liquin is the final step used on the Day Lily, started in July, 2009 and what I'm considering now "almost finished". The Liquin finish keeps dust off the picture, and lends a warmer glow to the oil colors. This picture was taken prior to using Liquin since pictures on my camera tend to create a "shine" on the picture after Liquin is applied.
