Description

Alkyd Medium:

• Increases the flow and/or transparency of oil colour, making the paint fatter, decreasing the drying time.
• Composition: Alkyd resin, white spirit.
• Increases the durability and elasticity of the paint film.
• Makes the brush stroke run, depending on the amount adde.
• Hardly influences the degree of gloss.
• Slightly yellowing.
• Can be thinned with white spirit or turpentine.
• Suitable as glazing medium.
• Flammable.

 

Linseed Oil Purified:

• For the artist to make his own paint and painting medium.
• Composition: Linseed oil.
• Increases the gloss and the drying time of the paint film.
• Increases the risk of the paint film wrinkling.
• Shows strong yellowing in dark conditions, which largely disappears in daylight.
• Can be thinned with white spirit or turpentine.

 

Quick Dry Medium:

• Increases the flow and/or transparency of oil colour, shortening the drying time and making the paint fatter.
• Composition: Vegetable oils, synthetic resins, white spirit, siccatives.
• Increases the durability and elasticity of the paint film.
• Makes the brush stroke run, depending on the amount added.
• Increases gloss.
• Does not yellow.

Poppy Oil Purified:

• For the artist to make his own paint and painting medium.

• Only use in the final coat.
• Can be thinned with white spirit or turpentine.

 

Stand Oil: 

• For the artist to make his own (glazing) medium and as an ingredient for a paint formula.
• Composition: Linseed stand oil.

• Slightly yellowing (between poppy seed and linseed oil).
• Can be thinned with white spirit or turpentine.
• Traditional glazing medium.
• Not to be used in lower coats when mixed with paint.

 

Painting Paste:

• Prevents the wrinkling of thick paint layers, increases the amount of paint, decreases the tinting strength and increases the transparency of oil colour while retaining the viscosity.
• Composition: Vegetable oils, synthetic resins, thickening mediums, white spirit.
• Increases the durability of the paint film.
• Slightly reduces the gloss of oil colour.
• Reduces the drying time of the paint film.
• Does not yellow.
• Can be thinned with white spirit or turpentine.
• Flammable.
