The Perfect Mediums to Aid In Drying Time and Preserve of Oil Paint
Professional oil paints require professional-quality drying oils and mediums. Any additive used to alter the working properties of oil paint needs to be of equal quality for the continuity of paint film strength and durability. Winsor & Newton is proud to offer a unique selection of oils and mediums to enhance your oil painting experience. Drying oils control color, prevent over-thinning when mixed with solvents, and help maintain the flexibility of paint film.
Blending & Glazing Medium -Adjusts oil paint’s viscosity and drying behavior for seamless colour blends and even glazes. Improves transparency.
Cold Pressed Linseed Oil -An oil extracted without the use of heat. Cold Pressed Linseed Oil makes oil colour “fatter”. It reduces viscosity for better flow while adding transparency and gloss.
Drying Poppy Oil -Extracted from the seeds of the poppy plant. Drying Poppy Oil makes oil colour “fatter” and has a pale character. The fastdrying oil stabilizes a colour’s film. Dries more slowly than linseed oil and preserves good, clear colours even in the spectrum of light colours.
Drying Linseed Oil – Fastest drying linseed oil, increases gloss, transparency, and reduces consistency. It decreases the consistency and transparency of the oil paint. Add to other oils to accelerate drying times.
Linseed Stand Oil – For glazing and as an alternative for Refined Linseed Oil, due to its pale colour and excellent levelling. Linseed Stand Oil makes oil colour “fatter”. It’s a pale viscous oil that slows drying while imparting a smooth, tough enamel finish with no brush marks.
Refined Linseed Oil -A low viscosity alkali refined oil of pale colour that dries slowly. Refined Linseed Oil makes oil colour “fatter”. It reduces the consistency of the paint. Slower drying variant of the linseed oils. Add to fast drying oils to balance drying times.
Thickened Linseed Oil – Amber coloured, partially oxidised oil. Makes oil colour “fatter”. A faster drying viscose oil. Can be used in combination with Sansodor to accelerate drying rates further.
Safflower Oil – Extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant. Makes oil colour “fatter” and has a pale character. It’s a slow drying oil that stabilizes paint film. Use with whites, pale and bright colours. The pale colour preserves the brightness of pigments.
