Build luminous glazes that dry overnight without yellowing your colors
Alkyd resin technology speeds drying time while maintaining the luminous depth that makes oil glazing so compelling. Grumbacher's medium cuts standard oil drying from days to hours, letting you build transparent layers in a single session rather than waiting between applications. The thixotropic gel holds its structure in the jar but flows smoothly when worked with a brush or palette knife, giving you control over consistency without fighting stiff material.
This medium excels at traditional glazing techniques where transparent color layers create optical depth impossible to achieve through direct mixing. Non-yellowing formulation preserves color clarity in both light and dark values, critical when building up multiple translucent layers where any yellowing compounds with each application. The gel consistency extends your paint without making it runny, maintaining brushstroke integrity while increasing transparency.
Mix directly into oil colors on your palette to adjust working properties, or apply as an interlayer medium between dried passages. Particularly valuable for portrait work, still life, and any painting approach that relies on luminous shadows and rich color depth. Available in a 2.5-ounce jar with secure closure that prevents skinning between painting sessions.
