Galkyd Painting Medium 4 oz Bottle

It's great! Got it much cheaper than its actual price. It speeds up drying time!

Good

Expensive... though it is of better quality

I'm sure the product itself is great, but it never arrived. I've tried contacting the seller, but was advised to check with my neighbours and the post office - it wasn't there. Disappointing.

I think these are the best. Some of the best oils you can get if you’re fine artist I’m a professional artist. I love these are going to order some more.

I like this stuff. It does tack up quickly, so I just put like a teaspoon more or less on the pallet or in a small lid or something? and mix into the paint I'm using at the moment to hasten the drying time of that particular color ...if you need to layer a color over another as a sort of glaze, that helps increase transparency. It doesn't have an odor as such, it's not fumy or anything like that. I used to use Liquin for the same reasons, but I think this is less 'gummy' or 'cloudy'? I'm not sure how to describe the differences, but this is working for my purposes now. I would say, don't leave the lid off the bottle or pour out more than you need for a session, or it will just be wasted. I have not mixed large amounts of paint with this, just canvases between 9x12,-24x36, sizes, and not impastos, I do thin layers to medium thick swatches for the most part, pretty standard average thickness pictures. I think this is more economical than some others, works for me, doesn't change the color of the paint .

I got it in my head that the reason I paint so slow, is because of how long the paintings take to dry. Figured I needed a medium that could speed that process up. Well, this does the trick. But be warned, it might throw off your pace if you're used to having plenty of time to work on a painting. This stuff can start to dry as you're using it. Folks say it can even dry up in the bottle, so I've been using it in a little cup with a lid, but even doing that, if you pour some onto your palate it gets on the rim of the cup, and if you happed to lightly touch that cup, it will try to stick to you - and might tip over. That wasn't fun when I did it. But, if you know what your doing, have at it, it will definitely speed things up. And, one more thing, there's no big bad smell.
