Sennelier Oil Mediums are composed of natural resins, beeswax, dammar gum and other solvents. The different oil mediums in the Sennelier line allow professionals to change the texture of their oil paints while also uniting their composition with uniform effects. Sennelier additives allow painters to follow their creative impulses by empowering them to alter the working characteristics of oil paint to suit their artistic needs.
Safflower Oil is a clarified vegetable oil, a good drier with low acidity. Characterized by resistance to yellowing and excellent compatibility with pigments. Mix with oil colors to accentuate their fluidity, transparency and gloss without altering the hue's brilliance during drying.
Rectified Turpentine - Pure natural balsam with the consistency of honey. Add as a plasticizer and gloss enhancing agent to oil colors, varnishes ad mediums. Creates jewel-like quality with a tough enamel-like surface. Avoid excess.
Turner Painting Medium is based on dammar gum. Reinforces cohesion of the brushstroke and accentuates gloss. You can thin this medium with mineral spirits or turpentine.
Stand Linseed Oil is full bodied, very bright, clear, honey-like viscosity medium made by heating pure linseed. Improves transparency, fluidity and smoothes brushstroke. Slows drying, slightly yellowing.
Universal Medium is a liquid, colorless gloss medium that shortens drying time, improves fluidity and increases gloss and transparency while leaving a uniform surface. Non-yellowing.
Turner Transparent Glazing Medium is used for glazing and finish. Completely clear vegetable oil based medium, gives transparency and lightness to the finish. It does not have a noticeable impact on drying time and retains the color's form and satin finish.
Van Eyck Gel Medium has a gel-like consistency, based on mastic resin and oil thickened in the presence of metal oxides. Easy application. Fixes brushstrokes. Increases gloss, transparency and depth of color. Allows oil colors to be superimposed rapidly, even when paint is fresh, without diluting the underlying coats. For rough sketches, thin the medium with turpentine or petroleum spirits. Enrich as work proceeds. Provides rapid setting followed by progressive drying. Van Eyck medium gives the brushstrokes (even when using impasto techniques) a varnished, enamel finish. Also suitable for glazing and modelling.
Gel'n Dry is a gel alkyd medium. Add 15-20% (25% maximum) to paint to speed drying, improve fluidity and gloss. Suitable for impasto techniques.
