Jan Maris – painting technique

oil paint:
• PW 6 - titanium white
• PY 128 - disazo condensation, Talens Rembrandt: 'transparent yellow medium' 272
• PR 264 - diketo-pyrrolo pyrrole, Talens Rembrandt: 'permanent madder deep' 342
• PBk 9 - ivory black, Talens Rembrandt: 701 (mixed with ultramarine PB 29)
• PB 29 - Talens Rembrandt: 'ultramarine deep' 506

medium: oil-resin (stand oil, damar resin), 10 : 1.

brushes: synthetic, round.

canvas: Belgian. Fine structure.
ground: bone glue, white resin-oil paint
for small paintings: panel.
imprimatura: lean oil paint, brownish-grey.

I don't use different sheets of paint deliberately, never use glacis.
My technique is sort of an alla prima-technique, though sometimes taking long enough to slightly dry the first paint.
