Mix with oil bronzes to create brilliant metallic effects on canvas
Metallic effects in oil painting typically require complicated mixing ratios and specialized knowledge. Schmincke's Bronze Medium eliminates the guesswork with a formula engineered specifically for their oil bronze pigments. Mix three parts bronze to two parts medium with a painting knife, and you get brilliant metallic effects with proper flow and adhesion across oil paintings, wood, metal, or gypsum surfaces.
The medium binds bronze particles while maintaining their reflective properties, creating genuine metallic luster rather than the flat appearance of poorly mixed metallics. Once dry, the surface resists water and casual wiping, protecting your work from handling damage while remaining workable with turpentine or turpentine substitutes when you need to make corrections or adjustments.
This ready-to-use formulation means consistent results across projects. No experimenting with linseed oil ratios or wondering why your metallics look dull. The specific three-to-two ratio provides optimal coverage and sheen, whether you're adding metallic accents to representational work or building entire compositions around bronze's warm, reflective qualities. Compatible with traditional oil painting techniques while expanding your material vocabulary beyond standard pigments.
