Sennelier’s Green For Oil Medium Gel is designed for impasto effects, where you an build up layers and create an impressive sense of depth. It maintains the consistency of oil paints and allows you to add thick layers later without thinning the initial bottom layers.

Sennelier’s range Green For Oil has been designed to be a safer, greener alternative to traditional solvents with all the ingredients being part of the bio-solvent family. These eco-friendly solvents are created from renewable raw materials that are found naturally. They are sourced, keeping biomass and sanitary and environmental standards in mind, from plant, animal or mineral based materials. The careful science and construction means they work very similarly to their traditional counterparts and produce a synonymous result.

Cobalt naphtenate/white spirit. Low odour dilutant alternative. Add sparingly to oil colours to accelerate drying.

Alkali refined linseed oil of pale colour increases gloss, reduces consistency and slows drying time.

More viscous than refined linseed oil. Slows drying time

Increases gloss, reduces consistency and slows drying time.

The natural dammar resin crystals in Sennelier Dammar Gum are source dammar fir trees in Indonesia and Malaysia. Dammar crystals are soaked in gum turpentine to make dammar varnish, a beautiful and transparent removable high-gloss picture varnish. Dammar gum can also used as an ingredient in oil paint glazing mediums and retouching varnish.

Pale coloured alkali refined oil with little tendency to yellow. Favoured for use with whites and blues. Longer drying time than linseed oil.

Cobalt naphtenate/white spirit. Low odour dilutant alternative. Add sparingly to oil colours to accelerate drying.

Composition: Vegetable oils, synthetic resins and water. Purpose: Increasing the flow and/or transparency, makes the paint fatter.Qualities:• Increases the gloss and transparency• Makes the brush stroke run slightly• No influence on drying time of the paint• Increases the durability of the paint film• Can be thinned with water• Yellows slightlyA great video from Cobra that explains the different uses for the three painting mediums and how they can help you maintain the 'fat-over-lean' principle: youtube=pMz5vuG0FhI

High quality, slightly yellow oil made in the USA. Extracted without the use of heat. Increases gloss and transparency and reduces brushmarks. Highly recommended for grinding pigments.

Darker than linseed oil. Helps oil to flow and increases brightness. Good drying. May yellow over time.

Volcanic rock in powdered form. Used to provide tooth to grounds.

Gamblin Oil Painting Ground makes a strong, bright, non-absorbent foundation for oil paintings. Formulated from alkyd resin, titanium dioxide, and barium sulfate, Gamblin Ground makes canvas and linen stiffer than acrylic 'gesso' and more flexible than traditional oil primers. Barium sulfate gives Gamblin Ground its tooth. Titanium dioxide gives Gamblin Ground its opacity.

Because the percentage of pigments is so much higher than in acrylic 'gesso', painters need only apply TWO coats of Gamblin Ground instead of the recommended four coats of acrylic. More coats can be added for smoother painting surfaces. Because alkyd resin is used instead of linseed oil as the binder, Gamblin Ground is more flexible and dries more quickly than lead/linseed oil grounds. Lead/linseed oil grounds must dry for six months and Gamblin Ground is ready for paint application within a week

Alkali refined linseed oil is a pale oil extracted from the seeds of the flax plant. It is used in many of Michael Harding's paints because it produces the strongest paint film during the drying process and ensures the longevity of each painting.When mixed with oil paint, linseed oil will increase the gloss and transparency of the paint, and will thin the paint so that it flows more easily and does not hold brushmarks. It will also slow the drying time of the paint. Linseed oil is also highly suitable for use with dry ground pigments.Please note soft materials which have absorbed linseed oil should be stored in sealed containers, as the oil will oxidise when exposed to the air. This chemical reaction releases so much heat that the rags may spontaneously combust. Make sure the lid of the container is closed securely and store in a cool place. Brushes and tools used with linseed oil should be cleaned with white spirit.

Schmincke Mussini Oil Medium 2 is a slow drying medium. It reduces the drying speed of the paint and allows for an extended working period.
This oil rich medium is suitable for wet-in-wet painting and blending techniques.

The high content of oil and resin in the medium improves the gloss of the paint.
It dries to a smooth elastic film.

Schmincke Mussini Oil Medium 3 is a fast drying medium. The volatile solvent and siccatives in this medium cause rapid drying. The resin rich content increases gloss, depth effect and refraction and makes the color layers more resistant.

Use sparingly to prevent excessive gloss. Close immediately after use.

Contains: Ketone and alkyd resin, mineral spirit, siccative.

Schmincke’s Medium W allows oil colours to be mixed with water instead of with turpentine and linseed oil. Brushes and painting tools that have been used with Medium W mixed oils can be cleaned with soap and water. Medium W should be mixed with oil paints in a 1 part medium to 2 parts oil ratio using a palette knife or a spatula. Water can then be added to the mixture to thin the paint and, if necessary, more Medium W.

Medium W increases the gloss and transparency of paints and harmonises drying process. This odourless, low solvent additive will reduce the mess and smell of oil painting. When mixed with oils and water the alkyd resin in Medium W will undergo a shift in colour, however oils will be restored to their original brilliance and vibrancy on drying.

The R&F Blending Medium is designed to be used with R&F Pigment Sticks and is available in jars or in stick form. Both the jars and the sticks are made from an uncoloured version of the base for the R&F pigment sticks (a solvent-free blend of Linseed Oil and Natural Waxes). Used with coloured sticks, they increase transparency, add body, extend and blend the oil paint. They are available with or without a cobalt siccative which will speed the drying time of any oil paint or paint stick. The blending medium with the added drier will have an effect on the colour of any oil paint or oil bar it is used with, so it is advisable to apply the medium to the painting support, followed by the paint. This is a 237ml (8oz) tub of R&F Blending Medium (without the cobalt drier). youtube=xBeGfwlJRM8
