Description
This product dramatically speeds up the drying time for oil paint and is ideal for use when working on a wet-on-wet painting. This product helps to ‘wet’ or thin the oil paint for a smoother ink like consistency.
Jackson’s Wet-In-Wet Fast-Dry Oil Painting Medium creates an even paint film without dry spots. It thins paint without making it brittle and allows paint to be moved without the colour becoming muddy. Wet-in-Wet medium gives a slightly glossy finish to a dry painting.
It is advised to store Jackson's Oil Medium at a stable temperature. Storage in an overly hot or cold environment will affect the consistency of the product.
Available in 2 sizes: 250ml and 500ml
Jackson's Wet in Wet Oil Paint Medium should be quite a fluid medium.
Maintenance of Alkyd Mediums - Like all alkyd-based mediums, the introduction of air space in the bottle allows for solvent evaporation and drying - even with the lid closed. To compensate, add a little solvent of your choice to the bottle immediately after use and shake it well to maintain the desired thickness of the medium. We tested a variety of types of solvent and they all worked.
Rescuing Thickened Alkyd Medium - If your painting medium has thickened but is still fluid, add in a small amount of solvent and shake thoroughly. Continue adding more solvent and shaking until the medium is close to its original consistency. If a fluid alkyd painting medium has thickened to a gelled consistency, it will no longer help to add solvent - unfortunately it cannot be rescued.
