## Description

Review: Excellent product highly recommend for professional - I think these are the best. Some of the best oils you can get if you’re fine artist I’m a professional artist. I love these are going to order some more.
Review: Drys fast , keep the lid on the bottle and you'll be fine - I like this stuff. It does tack up quickly, so I just put like a teaspoon more or less on the pallet or in a small lid or something? and mix into the paint I'm using at the moment to hasten the drying time of that particular color ...if you need to layer a color over another as a sort of glaze, that helps increase transparency. It doesn't have an odor as such, it's not fumy or anything like that. I used to use Liquin for the same reasons, but I think this is less 'gummy' or 'cloudy'? I'm not sure how to describe the differences, but this is working for my purposes now. I would say, don't leave the lid off the bottle or pour out more than you need for a session, or it will just be wasted. I have not mixed large amounts of paint with this, just canvases between 9x12,-24x36, sizes, and not impastos, I do thin layers to medium thick swatches for the most part, pretty standard average thickness pictures. I think this is more economical than some others, works for me, doesn't change the color of the paint .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have an oil thinner with some turpentine in it**
A: linseed oil with Gamblin thinners are excellent.

**Q: Can this be used with water based oil paint like Alkyds?**
A: It’s for use with oil-based paints.

**Q: Would I use Galkyd for water-based oil paints?**
A: Water mixable oil paint is not "water based". These are oil paints, ie, oil based paint that are formulated to be mixable with water but they are not water based. In my experience water mixable oil based paints can used with any type of oil medium.

**Q: Will this work with acrylic paint as well?**
A: No, it wouldn’t mix. There are plenty of acrylic mediums out there or try flow release.
