Product Description

Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Mediums, Fast Drying improves the flow and speeds the drying of Artisan oil colors, smooths brushwork and increases gloss and transparency. It is excellent for glazing and producing fine detail and is resistant to yellowing. This is a very popular medium as it speeds the drying of oil color by about 50%, allowing further layers to be applied more quickly. The formulation has been improved and this has helped to wet the color better.


From the manufacturer

Winsor & Newton Water Oil Mixable Oil Colour Mediums

artisan

Oils, mediums, solvents, and varnishes specifically designed to be used with Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour.

Choose & combine different types of oil mediums

thinner

oil

mediums

Thinner

Thinner is the water mixable alternative to the solvents commonly used with conventional oil paints and produces a “leaner” mixture.

Oils

Oils will modify the colours viscosity, gloss and drying time. Using oils maintains the flexibility of paint films, particularly when working fat over lean.

Mediums

Used to alter or enhance the characteristics of oil colour, mediums are used to modify the rate of drying, increase gloss, improve flow or add texture.

Better for you, better for the planet: How to choose and use our oils, mediums and varnishes sustainably

Our wide range of traditional oils, mediums and varnishes are brilliant at helping artists experiment with texture and finishes, control colour and protect their work. But they can be tricky to handle; some have odours that can take over an environment. As chemicals they must be handled with care, and packaging them safely and sustainably can be a challenge. But we’re doing everything we can to improve the impact of all our mediums on the planet including the reduction of unnecessary packaging.

Matte Varnish Looks Nice
4 Stars
Matte Varnish Looks Nice
I ordered the matte varnish to finish my acrylic painting because I read that it might lighten it up slightly. When I painted my picture, it dried darker than I was expecting so I wanted to try to balance it out. I’m pleased with the result, the smell is really strong so keep your windows open! It took 2 coats to look nice and even,and cleaned out of my brush easily with warm water. The texture is thinner and runnier than I expected so after doing 2 coats on my large painting I still have half of a bottle left for future projects.
