| I often have this issue with pigment separating itself out, precipitating, when I've thinned down paint drastically to apply a glaze. Actually, not a proper glaze, but more of something soupy that I want to brush on thick but allow what is beneath to show through.
The medium I use is a concoction of walnut oil, stand, copal, and turpentine. Would you have any idea if there is something I could add to this, or something else entirely, that will hold the paint evenly? I want the "wash" to appear tinted wiht color and remain an essentially homogenous solution. Presently, if I add just a very little paint to the medium and apply it, little specks of pigment emerge. |

I use Winsor & Newton Liquin. It's great for glazing. It's suppose to help your paintings dry faster, but I haven't noticed.

I have a long held belief that: "simple is best." In the same circumstance you mention, I use a medium mix that is equal parts stand oil, mineral spirits and damar varnish. Never had a problem with "precipitation" in all the years I've been painting this way.
