Water mixable oils need their own mediums, traditional oil mediums won't emulsify properly with water-modified binders. Winsor & Newton developed this Artisan medium range to match the specific chemistry of their water mixable colors, ensuring proper flow, adhesion, and film formation without compromising water cleanup.
Fast Drying Medium accelerates dry time while improving transparency and flow, essential for glazing techniques or building layers quickly. Stand Oil works opposite, slowing drying for extended blending time while creating exceptionally smooth, self-leveling films that eliminate brushstrokes in detailed passages. Linseed Oil increases gloss and transparency with moderate drying time, the traditional choice for enriching color depth. Impasto Medium thickens colors for palette knife work and textural effects while speeding dry time so built-up passages cure faster.
Oil Painting Medium handles general thinning and improves wetting for fine detail without over-diluting color strength. Thinner provides controlled dilution when you need paint consistency thinner than mediums alone achieve; it evaporates slower than water, preventing rapid skinning while you work. Use Thinner alongside mediums rather than alone to maintain proper paint structure.
Each medium modifies working properties while maintaining water cleanup capability. Choose based on technique: glazing needs Fast Drying or Stand Oil, impasto requires Impasto Medium, general use relies on Oil Painting Medium or Linseed Oil.
