Extend paint flow and hold crisp brushwork without toxic solvents

Safflower oil and alkyd resin combine to create a medium that flows smoothly without requiring turpentine or mineral spirits in your palette. Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel extends oil colors while maintaining their body, brush marks hold their shape rather than leveling flat, giving you control over texture and impasto effects. The gel increases transparency for glazing techniques while adding luminous gloss to finished surfaces.

Moderately fast drying distinguishes this medium from traditional oil painting; layers firm up in three to four days when applied in typical amounts, letting you build paintings more quickly than straight oils allow. The alkyd component accelerates drying without compromising the working characteristics oil painters expect. Colors remain blendable on the palette and canvas, yet set faster than linseed oil-based mediums.

Studio air quality improves immediately when you eliminate petroleum distillates from your process. Non-toxic formulation means no ventilation concerns, no solvent odors, no exposure to Gamsol or turpentine during extended painting sessions. Mix directly into colors or apply as a final glaze layer, the gel supports traditional oil techniques while removing the health and environmental concerns that come with conventional solvents.
