In oil painting, “couching” refers to applying a thin layer of oil to the surface of your painting before adding fresh paint. Couching makes paint easier to spread and lends itself to creating soft focus.
The way that I’m using this technique could be considered a type of glazing. Personally, I would only use couching as a final layer on a painting because I don’t want to destabilize the paint layers by putting extra medium between them.
The oil I’m using is Gamblin’s Refined Linseed Oil: bit.ly/gamblin...
