GLOSS MEDIUM FLOW PROMOTER

A

s Hydrocryl is a heavy bodied paint, many artists

will wish to thin down the paint and extend

it’s flow. Hydrocryl Flow Promoter as an extender

will keep the colour true and avoid scumbling and

blotches produced when using water.

Alternatively, Hydrocryl Flow Promoter can be

tinted with the paint in order to create coloured

varnishes.

Hydrocryl Flow Promoter can be used on top of

fully dried oil paintings.

T

he roots of Sennelier watercolors are to be found in
the Impressionist school. At that time, painters drew
their inspiration from nature and set out to reproduce
natural light. Watercolor technique offered spontaneity,
lightness of touch, fluidity and transparency allowing
a quick translation of a particular light, vibration or
shape. Paul Cézanne, for instance, produced forty
or so watercolors of the Mont Sainte Victoire in
Provence. Earlier on in England and on the
Normandy coast in France, William Turner
had turned painting in watercolors
as an art form in its own right and
had even managed to produce
genuine masterpieces. Since then
watercolors have become an
established part of the history
of painting. Artists love

them because of their radiance and their spontaneity. It is

such a pleasure when the painter plays with the light of the

paper and the brightness of fleeting, intense pigments as

they glisten, come together and swirl around under his brush

producing a whole host of different effects.
