About Paul Herman
Expertise
I can answer many questions about art theory & history though my knowledge in certain areas of history go deeper than others. I can also confidently offer answers about technique & materials in most fine art methods except copper engraving where I am still learning.

Experience
Being a second generation painter forms the greatest part of my education, I grew up in my parent's studios & by 16 was a professional painter/sculptor.

Publications
A few articles about art theory & being an artist on my blog if you are interested in seeing a sample of my writing: http://www.HermanStudios.com/blog.html

Education/Credentials
'A' levels in London (Kingsway & Princeton) & an unfinished degree (3 years) at NYUB (state university at Buffalo, NY)

Past/Present Clients
Some are mentioned on my site, several are European nobility otherwise I guess the most 'quotable in a blurb sense' were Saks fifth avenue both in NYC (where though many including, Andy Warhol & Jasper Johns, have appeared in their windows I was the first commissioned artist in their history) & Beverly Hills.

Topic: Painting



Expert: Paul Herman

Subject: oil Glazer

Question
cual es la mejor formula para preparar un oil glazer?

Answer
Hola Roberto,
 
 Hablo Español pero no soy Español (lo menciono por los indudables fallos que voy a cometer!)

Sí quieres decir 'veladuras' la formula tradicíonal se llama 1-2-3, una parte varnís de Damar, dos de aceite de lino refinado (tal como lo hizo por primera vez Van Eyck- al sol) & tres de trementina.

El mayor inconveniente que tiene es el tiempo de secado entre capas.  Pero en los 500 años desde su invencíon no se ha descubierto algo mejor.

Aunque puedo recomendar una alternativa por propria experiencia: 'Liquin' por Winsor & Newton.  Dado clima seco & caluroso una capa puede aplicarse encima de otra en tan poco como unas seis horas.

Los secantes tradicionales (de cobalte) tienen el problema de agrietarse pero no he visto ese problema con el Liquin- así que lo recomiendo.

Espero que esto te contesta la pregunta, sí no es así escribeme otra vez.

Ah, & me dicen que debo de recordarte volver a allexperts.com a ponerme una 'puntuacíon' (se dice así?)
Saludos,
Paul
