onglaze medium

I plan to venture into the world of 'onglaze' painting. The books I have, go on about all the various oils required to use as a medium. The pottery suppliers I go to, have said that oils are only necessary for the onglaze stains that contain gold, (i.e. purple etc) and sold me a tub of their own milky/watery looking medium. I tried to find out what the medium consisted of but apart from saying it contained some PVA and water, she was very cagey about the other ingredients. Any advice/recipes/web sites for this mysterious concoction. Any supplier is at least a 5 hour round trip from my home, so I do need to make this myself, plus I have to be penny wise and not pound foolish. I would be delighted for any tips on onglazes.

Canola is the name given to a variety of rape (a plant in the mustard family) developed by the Canadian government to have low erucic acid. Normal rapeseed oil is high in this acid, which makes it inedible to humans. Without the erucic acid, the oil has a nice balance of fatty acids for nutritional purposes.

As far as I can tell, this was developed by conventional plant breeding methods, long before genetically modified organisms (GMO) came on the scene. Now, of course, we have GMO Canola developed by Monsanto to withstand massive does of Roundup (which they just happen to sell). And, the pollen from this stuff drifts into adjacent fields and fertilizes normal canola. The offspring become GMO and thus automatically violate Monsanto's patent and make that farmer subject to lawsuit from Monsanto! Happened to a fellow in Saskatchewan (I think) named Percy Schmeiser.

Aren't you glad you asked? ;-)
