 | | Maroger is an oil varnish painting medium discovered by Jacques Maroger, painter and former curator of the Louvre in the early 20th Century, who claimed to have found the secret formulas used by Old Masters such as Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck, Velasquez, as well as others. |
 | | With Maroger's medium the artist can paint wet into wet, wet over dry, or glaze in layers with surprising facility. |
 | | Mastic Varnish - Made of mastic resin from Chios (an island off the coast of Greece) and pure gum spirits of turpentine, this varnish was commonly used as a picture varnish as well as a major ingredient in mediums by the Old Masters. |
