Art SpectrumĀ®Ā Painting Medium No. 1

The leanest medium. Ready to use straight from the container. Dries overnight, depending on climate and thickness of paint application. Often an excessive amount of gum turpentine is used as a substitute for a ā€˜leanā€™ medium. Too much gum turpentine ā€˜denaturesā€™ the oil paint in these lean layers. This leaves an underbound pigment when the paint dries which weakens the bond between the oil paint and the canvas.

Art SpectrumĀ®Ā PaintingĀ Medium No. 1Ā contains a balancedĀ  amount of Stand Oil and turpentine for a well-balanced, permanent paint layer. Also useful to clean and lessen absorbency of pre-primed canvas panels and stretched canvasā€™. (Wipe on and wipe off).

Art SpectrumĀ®Ā Artistsā€™ Oil Painting Medium No. 1:

  • A permanent artistsā€™ painting medium.
  • Easy to apply. Simply place a small amount in a container and dip in your brush when required.
  • Rapid drying. It can dry (harden) overnight.
  • Cost effective. It is cheaper than paint.
  • Allows colour brilliance. Using this medium allows white ground to glow through.

Art SpectrumĀ®Ā Artistsā€™ Oil Painting Medium No. 1Ā can also be used for:

  • Sealing acrylic grounds. When applied direct to the acrylic ground it acts as a mild sealer and helps to prevent the ā€˜deadeningā€™ effect of over absorption of the oil vehicle.
  • Preparing a coloured ground. Simply add a small amount of oil paint to the medium.
  • Underpainting. Can quickly lay down an under painting by rubbing with a soft cloth or one of the larger sized brushes.
