Mediums 1
Mediums are additives which alter
or enhance the characteristics of
the colour.
Oil painting mediums are used to
change the rate of drying, increase
gloss, improve flow, provide texture
etc. Mediums are based on the
binders used in milling the colours:
linseed oil, alkyd resin and modified
oils for water mixable oils.
Traditional oil based mediums are
made from a combination of oil
and solvents, while the alkyd based
mediums combine synthetic alkyd
resins and solvents. Because alkyd

the climate, colours used, and film weight, the layer
will be touch dry in anything between 1-5 days.

Artists’ Painting Medium
This is a prepared medium that thins
the colour consistency, improves
flow and wetting, slows drying,
increases the durability of the film
and is resistant to yellowing. Artists’
Painting Medium is well suited for
‘oiling out’ (the application of an oil
medium to a painting which has sunk
(become dull), or lost its oil to the layer
underneath).

resin functions in much the same
way as linseed oil, alkyd mediums
may be added to conventional oils.
Alkyd resin mediums offer dramatic
advantages by accelerating the
speed of drying, as well as adding
a unique, natural translucency. We
offer a range of mediums to suit
your different needs.
All mediums should be used in
moderation, they are intended
only as an additive to the colour. In
addition, you should avoid adding
multiple mediums to the colour. The
most stable film is likely to contain a
single medium.

Liquin Light Gel Medium
This Liquin formulation offers
a slight gel that breaks down
on brushing (thixotropic) and
flows out to give a non-drip
effect when mixed with
colour. It is ideal for glazing.
It dries to a gloss film that has
an increased resistance to
yellowing.
This product offers all the handling properties
traditionally seen with the historic Meglip mediums but
without the tendencies to crack and yellow which are
normally associated with mastic mediums.
Choosing Liquin Light Gel is like selecting non drip gloss
paint for decorating in favour of liquid gloss (Liquin Fine
Detail). It provides looser handling.
