Artisan Water Mixable Painting Medium

Artisan Water Mixable Painting Medium

Artisan Painting Medium is a stand oil based medium, ready made from the bottle. Because of the complex chemistry of water mixable oils, it has been possible for us to formulate a superior medium from a selection of raw materials. This medium thins the consistency of Artisan oil colours and aids fine detail work.  It also improves the flow and wetting of the colour.  It dries slowly to a flexible film and is good for "oiling out".  Oiling out is the application of an oil medium to a painting which has sunk, or lost its oil to the layer underneath.

Stops the paint from sinking

by Gary Mahon (Skye) on 23 Mar 2008

"I found that the Artisan water mixable paints sunk but after oiling out (look it up) with this medium the colours come back. But the best thing I've found is to block in with acrylics first when dry, apply the medium over the whole canvas with a large brush and then paint with the A.W.M. paints, using only the medium, don't use water at all (only for cleaning up). Hopefully you will find the paint moves about the canvas a bit better and blending is easier because of the slower drying time. The colours don't sink as readily and your brush marks stand a bit prouder.
One more tip try to use a limited palette of colours and use a big brush about an inch or two wide when starting this forces you to think about tonal values not detail. I hope this was of help."
