Comments about Gamblin Galkyd Gel Medium:

I used the galkyd gel with windsor and newton oils, and it is lovely for glazing, however the 5oz tube is almost gone already and I've only used it on one painting. It's a great product, just needs to come in a much bigger size.

Gel Medium is a hit

Comments about Gamblin Galkyd Gel Medium:

I used Gamblin Gel Alkyd Medium with water mixable oils. It greatly improved the "feel" of the paint, as water mixable oils can sometimes feel sticky. The gel slightly increased the transparency of the paint without reducing its body. Brushes were still able to be cleaned with soap and water. I used it 50/50 mix with the paint and titanium white was only slightly transparent. Transparent hues like Alizarin Crimson were like painting with liquid stained glass.

Great for palette knife painting

Comments about Gamblin Galkyd Gel Medium:

I use this gel with water soluble oil paints of several brands and get great results putting thick paint on with the palette knife. It creates a nice shine on the finish so avoids the chalky look water soluble oils sometimes get. I mix it with the oils right from the tube and the gel adds to the flow of the paint depending on how much is mixed in.
