Introduction to the maroger medium

I am trying to demystify this medium for the person interested in the Maroger Medium. There are six base recipes, that Jaques Maroger introduces to the reader. He also offers up history of the various mediums, and speculates what the antique writers aim was.

For the person seeking to use this medium and understand the effects you need to have a solid understanding of preparing your canvas for painting. I offer the basics because the principles of preparing a canvas are not taught in the art schools.

An improperly prepared canvas will never yield the results for which this medium was intended.
