Hi,
I'm just trying to find a decent make of oil paint that doesn't cost the earth but I work a lot in oil glazing with liquin. Therfore, transparency is pretty important.
Anyway, please could someone tell me what the difference is between semi opaque and semi transparent. Is it not the same thing?
A couple of brands mark their oils as opaque, transparent, semi opaque and semi transparent and it has me completely baffled!!
Many thanks
Claire
