This is a general-purpose, odorless solvent that can be used instead of gum and mineral turpentine to thin paints and clean brushes.   It is less toxic than turpentine because it evaporates much more slowly. Very little vapor is generated, resulting in healthier and more pleasant painting sessions. However, it should only be used in well-ventilated areas. Follow safety instructions on the bottle.   Chroma's Odorless Solvent is recommended for use with Chroma Archival Oils Mediums.

Chroma Archival Oils Mediums - Front of 500 ml Classic Medium bottle

This is a modified stand  oil-based  medium for painters who prefer slower drying. It's ideal for thinning paint while maintaining a rich, luminous finish when dry, lends greater control for detail work, and offers longer manipulation time for over-painting, glazing, and  wet-in-wet  techniques. It can be used throughout a long painting process or for slow glazing on top of fast underpainting.   Do not use  fast-drying  mediums over the top of Classic Medium, as the tension between the paint layers caused by the different drying times may be strong enough to crack. Odorless Classic Medium generates very little vapor, resulting in healthier and more pleasant painting sessions.

Chroma Archival Oil Paints - Upright tube of Titanium White


Chroma Archival Oil Paints offer professional-grade performance at a student-grade price.

More durable than other artists’ oil colors, Archival Oils will not crack or become brittle with age. 

Titanium White and Fast-Drying White are ground in safflower oil; Tinting White uses a linseed-safflower oil binder.

Chroma Archival Oils Mediums - Front of tube of Flow Gel Medium

Use these gel mediums from Chroma with a variety of oil painting techniques.  Gel Mediums, including Flow Gel (which liquefies when picked up on a brush), can be conveniently placed on a palette. It is best not to dispense a larger quantity of any Archival Medium than can be used in one day, however, because of the  quick-drying  properties. Many artists use Archival Gel Mediums to speed up the drying process of their paintings, which means that pure paint on the palette remains usable longer.   As well as being interchangeable, Archival Gel Mediums are designed not to increase gloss levels, avoiding unwanted glossy patches on paintings. Artists who use thickly applied oil paints should use a gel medium, as using thick paint alone increases drying time from 6&nbsp;to 18&nbsp;months after application. Archival Mediums stabilize the oil paint, resulting in proper curing of thick slabs of paint without stress or wrinkling. Using Archival Mediums is economical as well, if used with highly pigmented paints such as Archival Oils.   Archival Gel Mediums offer another important benefit when used for  wet-on-wet  applications. All of the mediums, when mixed on the palette, are softer than the paint that has &quot;settled in&quot; on the painting, making  wet-on-wet  application very easy. Simply work the fresh paint in with a brush or knife, resulting in greater control over paint application.

Use these gel mediums from Chroma with a variety of oil painting techniques.
