Name: Grumbacher Oil Painting Medium I
Brand: Grumbacher
Rating: 4.6 (107 reviews)

For hundreds of years the world has marveled at the works of art created by the &quot;Old Masters&quot; during the Renaissance. Not only did their achievements arise from training and talent, but also from the techniques they used in preparing their materials. It wasn&rsquo;t until the 20th century that some of these formulas were rediscovered.&nbsp; Grumbacher has continued this tradition in the manufacture of its painting mediums, by assuring that the original paint attributes are enhanced, not compromised, by their use.   For use with artists&rsquo; oil colors where a matte finish is desired, this medium is especially useful for under-painting on an absorbent gesso ground or for mural work. Add it directly to oil color in small quantities for increased fluidity and enhanced ease of application. Composed of poppy oil, copaiba, balsam, and solvent, it does not affect the brilliance of even the most subtle tints.
