EXCELLENT!!! Yes. Rembrandt used this same EMULSION to CONTROL his viscous oil paint from “ sagging” ( also called “ bleeding” or “ crawling” “spreading uncontrollably”) . The emulsion for oil painting MUST have more oil than glair - a ratio of 3 parts oil to 2 parts glair mixed together into the emulsion . Only 1 drop or 3 is needed to control the glow of the viscous oil paint . Thanks
Thank You for this video, its like lovely kitchen book how to cook. Means how You can paint if You dont know how to make scrambled eggs..now we can make both! All the best from very far little village !
Excellent Oscar ! Yes. It shows the CSO method perfectly . That beautiful oil paint mixed with glair/oil emulsion that you demonstrated .... When it is painted into a damp ultra thin “ OIL,OUT” film of the emulsion ( the same emulsion you showed) IS REMBRANDTS; VAN EYCKS; VERMEERS magic method!!!! Thank you Louis Velasquez , creator CSO
yeah but I think the issue now is, that it will dry or set like acrylics... because its not part water based. So you don't really get to use it like regular oil paint. you dont get a lot of "open time" to mix it. @oscar econome
Hello, great video! I also use CSO, by Louis Velasquez... I'm experimenting with mayonnaise, egg yolk, vinegar and sun-thickened oil. Osamu Obi recipe...
Thats Great! Ive only recently become aware of this recipe, but I feel very wary about putting all that stuff in my painting... Though I still am curious to try it out
How long does a painting done in oil takes to dry when egg- oil emulsion is used with the paint...? Looks like there's no need of any drier whatsoever. Great video. Thanks.
2 to 3 means 2 parts of egg and 3 parts of linseed oil? Can this medium be made with whole egg or just egg yolk? Using of egg white seems a bit weird to me. Egg white cracks with time, I suppose the large amonut of oil in the mix eliminates this process. Historically egg yolk due to be perfect emulsifier was widely used in painting and to make all kind oil emulsions for painting (tempera grassa).
Hi Stylian, The mixture is best when it us made fresh. It is a lot of work I know but even after one day of it being made a crusty film will develop on top. So I suggest that you only make enough emulsion that you think youll need and then you can store your glair and your oil seperately. The Glair will also dry fast but you can store it in the fridge with a closed jar for maybe a week. Hope this helps :) Good Luck!
Beat some egg white then skim the frothy bubbles off the top with a spoon, put them in a glass. Beat the egg some more and skim the froth again, put it in the glass. Keep doing this til you have used all the egg white. The distilled liquid collects at the bottom of the glass.

This medium can be an impasto medium. But this medium when thinned out with a couple more drops of more medium, could be a glazing medium also, or anything in between
@@ArtbyJasonABell You can also spread it on the canvas with your fingers to make a thin slippery film, when you paint on it the brush glides wonderfully.

You can make an emulsion with egg yolks but it would not be the same. Different parts of the egg, different properties. Glair or frothed egg whites actually are a traditional binder that was used in gilding for setting the gold leaf. The egg white emulsion actually works like a tempera grassa, but is a bit different because there is a lot less egg and more oil, making it more of a transparent medium to work with. I have only the mixture dry oddly (crack, crease, chip) when I used the wrong ratio. So yes It is a 2:3 egg oil ratio ut should look slightly runny, and have a milky color.

@Mellow
Bill from 2C41 spoke about your amazing videos on his video today. So pleased to find your channel. Thank you for doing this work.
Thanks for getting straight to the point!

This brought me back to my days in the academy
thanks! I was just looking for this information
Awesome, Glad I could help. Check out Louis Velazquez for the source, he is the master!

amazing..
Eggcellent
this is very similar to making structural glues also. (making oil paint in general.) (if ur using calcite, that stuff is strong!!)
Oh! It's like making a meringue. 'Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.'
yeah but I think the issue now is, that it will dry or set like acrylics... because its not part water based.
So you don't really get to use it like regular oil paint.
you dont get a lot of "open time" to mix it.
@oscar econome
Yeah but im not using this medium to give more open time to mix the paint. This medium is only a tool to help paint handling
@@oscareconome3033 I know but it SIGNIFICANTLY shortens the open time..
Havent u found?

How’s it going so far? @paulofrade
I’ve seen that formula before as well but have never tried it.
How do you make it?
what is egg white distilled glare ?
Once is made how long can it last until it's spoil ?

Is it possible to use regular chalk and grind it instead of calcium carbonate? 0:43

Where does w@n, blue ridge, langridge, et buy their pigments from?
Hi. Can i stiored this mix of egg and oil in a jar or it is for one time only? And for how long it will be good if i can?

Calcium carbonate leaves sediment especially thin layers. Do you know any suggestion ? Thank you for your informative videos.
are you saying that it separates before the paint dries?
@@oscareconome3033 calcium carbonate leaves strange texture when I glaze a very thin layer.
@@mithatkorler7070 you could correct that maybe by doing an oil out on top after ut dries
@@oscareconome3033 I will try. Thank you.
Do you have a recipe/instructions for the emulsion?
Look through the comment section there is a comment from the man who created this emulsion his name is portervillelouis
How to distill the egg white?
Beat some egg white then skim the frothy bubbles off the top with a spoon, put them in a glass. Beat the egg some more and skim the froth again, put it in the glass. Keep doing this til you have used all the egg white. The distilled liquid collects at the bottom of the glass.
sorry for being so dumb,but how do you make the glare from the egg White please?

@@jrb4935 thank you
…is it safe to say that this emulsion is equivalent to modern day impasto medium ?
This medium can be an impasto medium. But this medium when thinned out with a couple more drops of more medium, could be a glazing medium also, or anything in between
@@oscareconome3033 ah I see…and it dries to a matte finish?
@@ArtbyJasonABell no, it will dry like an oil painting, glossy :)
@@ArtbyJasonABell You can also spread it on the canvas with your fingers to make a thin slippery film, when you paint on it the brush glides wonderfully.
You should where a mask for sure when you mix raw pigments
Good 👍 can I dm you as working bon several similar things check it out put 2c41 or Rembrandt medium
Yeah sure ask away:)
@@oscareconome3033 can I tell people on our channel to check out your videos , they are the best I’ve ever seen , am I’ve trawled through plenty
