Extend your working time for seamless blends and luminous glazes
Extended drying time transforms how you manipulate oil paint on the canvas. This medium combines dammar varnish, linseed oil, and mineral spirits to keep your colors workable longer, giving you the control needed for seamless gradations and luminous transparent layers. Originally formulated for decorative painters who demand precise blending and extended open time, it proves equally valuable for fine art applications where technique matters as much as vision.
The formula reduces paint consistency while maintaining color intensity, thin enough to glide smoothly yet substantial enough to hold your brushwork. Use it for classical glazing techniques that build depth through transparent layers, or work wet-into-wet for soft atmospheric effects. Stroke work stays crisp and controlled; antiquing and staining develop gradually with predictable results.
Dammar resin adds subtle gloss and helps bind pigments as solvents evaporate. The linseed oil component ensures proper film formation and long-term flexibility. Winsor & Newton balances these ingredients to extend working time without compromising the paint's structural integrity or archival properties. Add gradually to achieve the exact consistency and drying speed your technique requires.
