Winsor & Newton - Liquin Original Medium
Liquin Original Medium
Blend oils smoothly and glaze with clarity using this fast-drying medium
Fluid brushwork matters when you're building up layers or working wet-into-wet. Liquin Original transforms oil and alkyd colors into a more responsive medium that flows smoothly across canvas without fighting your brush. The translucent gel integrates seamlessly into paint, thinning consistency while maintaining color intensity, essential for controlled glazing where you need transparency without muddiness.
This alkyd-based medium accelerates drying time significantly compared to traditional oils, letting you work in layers without the usual waiting periods between sessions. The resulting film dries virtually non-yellowing, preserving color relationships as your painting ages. Whether you're blending soft atmospheric effects or laying down precise detail work, Liquin maintains workability long enough to manipulate paint while staying responsive to your brush.
Winsor & Newton's most widely used medium addresses the fundamental challenge oil painters face: balancing flow, drying time, and film quality. Mix it directly with colors on your palette or thin it further for transparent washes. The gel consistency means you control dilution precisely, from subtle flow improvement to genuine glazing transparency. Flammable liquid requires proper studio ventilation and storage away from heat sources.
