The minimalist approach to the conservation of paintings involves mitigating structural changes in loose linings, backboard, and frame glazing. These methods involve controlling environmental conditions in order to slow physical deterioration. Lining an entire painting has largely fallen out of favor due to the invasive nature of the treatment.
The medium, base, or vehicle is the mixture to which the dry pigment is added. Different media can increase or decrease the rate at which oil paints dry. Often, because a paint is too opaque, painters will add a medium like linseed oil or alkyd to the paint to make them more transparent and pliable for the purposes of glazing.
Fat over lean refers to the principle in oil painting of applying paint with a higher oil to pigment ratio ('fat') over paint with a lower oil to pigment ratio ('lean') to ensure a stable paint film, since it is believed that the paint with the higher oil content remains more flexible.

This response can be exacerbated by excess oil production which may be caused by hormones, stress, or poor diet, adds Dr. Gratch. Symptoms The visible symptoms of dandruff include flakes and ...
A basic rule of oil paint application is 'fat over lean', meaning that each additional layer of paint should contain more oil than the layer below to allow proper drying. If each additional layer contains less oil, the final painting will crack and peel. The consistency on the canvas depends on the layering of the oil paint.
Wet-on-wet, or alla prima (Italian, meaning at first attempt), direct painting or au premier coup, [1] is a painting technique in which layers of wet paint are applied to previously administered layers of wet paint. Used mostly in oil painting, the technique requires a fast way of working, because the work has to be finished before the first ...
A project in 2007 sequenced the genome of dandruff-causing Malassezia globosa and found it to have 4,285 genes. [7] [8] M. globosa uses eight different types of lipase, along with three phospholipases, to break down the oils on the scalp. Any of these 11 proteins would be a suitable target for dandruff medications.
But you want to wash that out. You don’t want to build up that on the scalp as well.” If you notice excess oil just around your hairline, you could wipe it with cosmetic blotting papers, he added.
