Liquin Light Gel Medium

This light gel halves the drying time of oil colour. The low-viscosity, gel-like paint film, is easy to work with and brushes out smoothly reducing the visibility of brush strokes. Ideal for artists looking for a non-drip effect when mixed with colour. Speeds drying (touch dry in 1-6 days depending on colour & film thickness). Ideal for glazing. Resists yellowing. Not suitable as a varnish or final coat. Allows the paint to dry faster and aids working with multiple layers.

Overview

Used to alter or enhance the characteristics of oil colour, Mediums are used to modify the rate of drying, increase gloss, improve flow or add texture. Based on the binders used in milling the colours (e.g. linseed oil, alkyd resin and modified oils for water mixable oils), mediums should be used in moderation as an additive to the colour; we also recommend avoiding adding multiple mediums to oil colour
