Non-Toxic Mediums for Enhancing Flow, Gloss, and Transparency in Oil Painting
These solvent-free painting mediums are formulated with safflower oil and alkyd resin to provide a safe, non-toxic alternative to traditional solvent-based products. Designed to increase the flow, transparency, and gloss of oil paints, they support a wide range of techniques while maintaining a fume-free environment in the studio.
Available in both gel and fluid forms, the gel version is ideal for impasto and textured applications, while the fluid medium slightly levels brushstrokes and enhances flow. With a moderately fast drying time, these mediums help improve painting flexibility without compromising health or air quality.
