Gamblin Oil Painting Galkyd Mediums

Galkyd is an incredible medium that enhances oil colours by boosting their transparency and gloss! When used in larger amounts, it skilfully levels brushstrokes, creating a beautifully smooth, enamel-like finish. As the fastest-drying medium available, it allows thin layers to be touch-dry in just about 24 hours. Unique to Galkyd, its thicker consistency comes from having less Gamsol than Galkyd Lite, but you can easily add more Gamsol for underpainting and washes. This alkyd-based medium by Gamblin is perfect for glazing and layering, making it a fantastic addition to any artist's toolkit!
