Copal is a natural resin medium historically used by the Flemish
masters to achieve their strikingly brilliant, enamel-like glazes. Copal
Painting Medium improves the flow of paint from the brush and speeds
the drying rate for oil colors. And unlike damar, copal is
solvent-resistant when dry, so it's perfect for clean lifts when
glazing. Whites and pale colors blended with Copal Medium retain
brightness and resist the staining that can occur from subsequent
applications of color. Dark colors appear deeper, more vibrant, and
retain a wet appearance after drying. Avoid overloading paint film with
copal as this can cause excessive yellowing.
Used to improve the flow of paint and to speed drying time. Also, an excellent finish varnish.
