SOLVENT-FREE PAINTING MEDIUMS - MORE POSSIBILITIES! LESS COMPROMISE!

Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel increases flow and transparency, features a moderately fast drying rate, and boosts gloss. It is composed of safflower oil and alkyd resin, and It is non-toxic and free of petroleum distillates. This gel should be used sparingly with oil colours—no more than 25% by volume.  

Apply mixtures of Solvent-Free Gel and oil colours thinly. To paint without solvents, we recommend Gamblin Safflower Oil for cleaning brushes during your work. Brushes can be cleaned further using Gamsol and/or soap and water.

Gamblin Oil Painting Mediums

True to historic working properties. Safer. More Permanent.

Gamblin's mission is to lead oil painting into the future. This means crafting materials as they should be, not just as they have been. Their contemporary mediums are authentic to historic working properties yet safer and more permanent.

Painting mediums offer a great deal more than simply extending oil colours. They modify the working properties of oil colours from the tube, from a fluid consistency for expressive mark-making to a stiff paste for creating thick, crisp marks. Painting mediums also broaden the visual qualities of our colours, increasing the transparency of paint layers and creating a range of surface qualities, from high gloss to matte.

When a painting is completed, the artist's marks reflect all the thought, effort, and emotion that went into it. Choosing the appropriate painting medium can be an essential part of making oil painting your own. With a medium that fits your needs, you can get into the flow of painting faster and stay there longer.

Oil painting mediums should not be used as a varnish or final coat.
