Holbein - Duo Aqua Painting Oil Medium
Duo Aqua Painting Oil Medium
Speed drying and boost transparency without solvents in water-mixable oils
Holbein engineered this medium specifically for water-soluble oil paint systems, where traditional petroleum-based mediums don't belong. Mix it directly into Duo Aqua colors to increase transparency while maintaining the paint's water-thinnable nature, no solvents required. The medium accelerates drying time and adds gloss, useful when building up layers or pushing toward final details where you need both clarity and a finished surface sheen.
Flow improves noticeably with just a small addition; brushstrokes glide more smoothly without the drag that straight-from-tube paint sometimes creates during detailed passages. Use it full strength for maximum effect, or thin with water for subtler adjustments, the milky appearance during mixing resolves to clear as it dries. The medium may develop cloudiness in the bottle over time, but this doesn't compromise performance once applied.
Glass bottles protect the formulation better than plastic during storage. Keep yours in a cool, dark spot to maintain consistency. For artists working in water-mixable oils who need control over transparency, surface finish, and drying speed without introducing conventional solvents into their practice, this medium handles those adjustments within the Duo Aqua system's parameters.
