NEW! Daniel Smith Painting Medium

This low-odor, alkyd-based medium speeds drying time of oil colors considerably. Thin layers will dry overnight.

The consistency of this product is thinner than oil paint, so it's ideal to use for blending, glazing, and leveling brushstrokes. Using this medium increases the flexibility and transparency of oils, and they will not yellow over time.

Much like a stand oil, alkyd resin is made by heating oil until it polymerizes or thickens. This alkyd medium can be thinned with odorless mineral spirits, unlike stand oil, which must be thinned with a more toxic turpentine/damar varnish mixture.
