Product Overview

This Clarified Safflower Oil Painting Medium is a low-acidity oil designed to improve the flow, transparency, and gloss of oil paints while maintaining the brilliance of the original colours. It offers excellent pigment compatibility and high resistance to yellowing, making it suitable for artists seeking a cleaner and more stable oil painting medium. It dries more slowly than linseed oil but can be safely blended with linseed oil. For best results, it should not exceed 25% of the total paint mixture.
