Grumbacher - Res-N-Gel Oil Painting Medium

Res-N-Gel Oil Painting Medium

Extend costly pigments while adding luminosity and faster drying times

Glazing demands a medium that extends paint without diluting its intensity. Res-N-Gel delivers exactly that, a full-strength synthetic resin gel that stretches expensive pigments while maintaining their luminous depth. The gel's substantial body prevents colors from running or blending unintentionally, holding brush strokes and palette knife marks with crisp definition. This control matters when building translucent layers or working wet-into-wet passages that need to stay distinct.

The buttery consistency responds predictably under both brush and knife, adapting from delicate glazes to aggressive impasto without fighting your technique. Pigments suspended in this gel retain their brilliance rather than going flat or muddy, critical for maintaining color intensity through multiple transparent layers. Accelerated drying means you can build successive glazes without waiting days between sessions.

Mix Res-N-Gel directly with tube colors to extend volume and modify handling properties. The synthetic resin base provides durability and flexibility without the yellowing associated with natural resins. Non-toxic formulation eliminates solvent concerns during extended studio sessions. Whether you're developing atmospheric depth through successive veils of color or sculpting thick, textured surfaces, this gel maintains optical clarity and structural integrity from first application through final varnish.
