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
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.
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
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
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.
