Winsor & NewtonArtisan Fast Drying Medium, 75ml (2.5-oz) bottle

I use linseed oil, cause it usually easier to find especially out side the states. plus I work indoors and avoid turpentine. I love the quality, I had no uses with it. and most importantly I love the way my paintings come out.I only have an issue with my paintings yellowing with time if I use linseed as a varnish. I have a separate clear varnish for that. I usually get the larger bottles. but I got these smaller ones that I can potentially travel with if I needed too.I trust Windsor and newton. I also love there brushes. I'm sure to continue using this oil.

For several days I had a issue with a satin finish varnish from other brand(the "look" was too glossy), even I used a matte finish from the same brand for fixing this result and nothing good was happening in the finish that I was pursuing,I bought this product on Tuesday and yesterday arrived this matte finish varnish of Winsor&Newton(probably the brand that I have been using from a very long time in my life) and the solution was reached in less than half hour. The crystal clear finish and perfect matte termination has been my goal and I reached this result with this wonderful product. The fastest dry took away any inappropriate expectations.

It got here a lot later than I expected but it's what I wanted and needed

So happy to find a NON-Gloss varnish

I use this when oil painting because it makes my paints easier to maneuver (especially when using cheap oil paints). This oil makes the paint glide much easier on the canvas and gives the paint a creamy texture. Beware that using a lot of linseed oil will dilute your pigment so you may not have the same opacity in your work. It will also keep the paint from drying for a longer period of time.

I followed the advice of fellow artists and tried this, results were excellent, it made the oil paint just thin enough to glide on with ease. A little goes a very long way. Good value. I will be buying this again.

I have used it for oil pastel painting. Leaves strong glossy finish and doesn’t really smell.

Winsor & Newton Artisan Safflower Oil is a high-quality medium for oil painters seeking a non-toxic alternative to traditional linseed oil. Made from the finest safflower seeds, it enhances the flow and transparency of oil colors while reducing yellowing over time. Its slow drying time allows for extended working sessions without compromising on quality. A must-have for artists concerned about health and environmental impact.
