Alchemist Mediums
Two decades of research and side-by-side experimentation with Donald C. Fels and renowned painters and craftsmen like Frank Mason and Joseph H. Sulkowski has resulted in Alchemist Mediums.
In the Company section we explain our devotion to developing authentic Old Masters amber varnish and painting mediums according to the manuscripts and writings of the 15th thru 17th centuries.

Painting mediums
If you are wishing to follow in the footsteps of the old masters, producing
incomparably vivid and transparent colors, glowing surface and centuries of
permanence, our pure amber and non-amber based oil painting
mediums and musical instrument varnishes were made for you!
Alchemist Mediums has also devised a set of kits to aid in the art of oil painting wet-into-wet according to the methods of the Old Masters.
Furthermore, all of the Alchemist Mediums contain no driers, are solvent free and are all natural.
Instrument Varnishes
For the luthiers among us Alchemist Mediums has developed, according to the recipe found in the DeMayerne manuscript, the "true"Amber Varnish for violins, viols, viola de gambas, cellos, and bowed string instruments of the viol family.
Made according to the recipes of the Flemish Masters, the only difference
between an aged old master paint film and our historical-based media films is
their age!
As is the case for the painting mediums so too do our instrument varnishes contain no driers are solvent free and are all natural.

Lost Secrets of Flemish Painting
We couldn't have said it better ourselves, so we won't:
Plein Air Magazine (October 2004):
"For 11 years, Fels searched through volumes of 17th-century texts and notes, written in languages other than English, each requiring translation. This superhuman effort produced what could be one of the most important texts on the formulas and techniques employed by great masters.."
