Dear Taher,
I teach techniques of the old masters in Austria each year, you can find out more at rubinovs-lightning(dot) com

Regarding recipes for damar mediums:
A slow drying medium and especially good for a 'mixed' technique of egg tempera and oil painting is:
1 part Stand oil
2 parts Damar
1 part rectified turpentine

best wishes
