Gamblin offers a great range of contemporary mediums. Using today's safer materials, they recreate the properties of traditional mediums. 

Gamblin Galkyd Lite is formulated to thin oil colors and maintain strong flexible paint films, with a viscosity similar to that of a traditional dammar/refined linseed oil/turpentine painting medium. It will leave brush strokes in thicker layers and allow a longer working time (approximately three hours). Glazes are slightly less glossy than those made with traditional mediums or Galkyd. 

Gamblin Galkyd Medium is an alkyd resin painting medium that increases the fluidity of oil colors and speeds their drying time (thin layers will dry within 24 hours). Its viscosity is similar to traditional painting mediums made from linseed stand oil. It levels brush strokes, creates a strong flexible paint film, and leaves an enamel-like glossy finish.

Gamblin FastMatte Alkyd Oil Colors were formulated to offer painters an  artists' grade  oil color that dries quickly, yet offers the adhesion of a ground, making it excellent as a base layer or for underpainting techniques.   FastMatte's alkyd  resin-based  binder allows it to dry more quickly naturally, creating a receptive, matte surface for subsequent layers. All colors except Titanium White and Cadmium colors are transparent or  semi-transparent  in nature, creating the tonal range so important for underpainting techniques.   When applied in thinly painted layers, FastMatte dries in approximately 18&nbsp;hours. This drying rate allows painters to work throughout a painting session without the oil paints drying on the palette, while at the same time creating a dry surface for the next painting session.   To make FastMatte more fluid for underpainting techniques, thin it with a  50/50 mixture  of Gamblin Galkyd Painting Medium and Gamblin Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits. Moderate use of this mixture ensures the adhesion of thinner paint applications while maintaining the matte surface quality.   For a gloss surface, apply a thin glaze or a coat of Gamblin Gamvar Picture Varnish.   The fast drying rate of FastMatte Alkyd Oil Colors makes it  well-suited  for plein air painters, especially while traveling and transporting freshly painted works.   Gamblin FastMatte Alkyd Oils are completely compatible with other  artists' grade  oil colors, and speed up their drying time based on the proportion used. FastMatte is also compatible with Gamblin's  alkyd-based  Galkyd painting mediums. Use with these mediums, however, increases the gloss level of the FastMatte Colors.
