If you’re looking to transform your paintings, or if you’re just wanting to slow down the drying time, our guide to oil mediums will help change the way you work with oils without losing that vibrant colour and sheen.

This type of oil isn’t something to gloss over. Our Refined Linseed Oil Premium will slow down the drying time of your oil paints and improve flow, plus it will also work to increase gloss and add a shine to your projects. This oil medium has a mid-viscosity, meaning its medium thickness gives you more control over the spread of your oil paints and will help you to create longer brush strokes.

Our Safflower Oil Premium will not only increase the gloss of your oil paints but also reduce the yellowing which can happen when using linseed oils. If you’re painting with white and pale hues, safflower oil is a great choice that’ll keep your whites white and your lighter colours clean and bright. With its thin consistency, similar to that of milk, this oil medium will improve the flow and transparency of your oil paints.
