Langridge Low Toxic Painting Medium 4 Litre # Special Order # 13010-06

Langridge Low Toxic Paint Medium is a low-toxicity solvent (odourless) based flow medium. Non-yellowing medium to add to oil paints to improve paint handling and promote the brushing out of colours.  Langridge Low Toxic Painting Medium has been constructed as an alternative to traditional turpentine based painting mediums for artists concerned about exposure to harmful solvents.

Constituents: Stand Oil (40 Poise), Low Toxic Solvent, Alkali Refined Linseed Oil, Cobalt Drier.

Langridge Low Toxic Painting Medium may be added to oil colours in quantities at the discretion of the artist. Initially small additions will purely aid the flow qualities of existing oil colours. As more medium is added to the oil colour, the transparency will be increased due to the further dispersion of the pigment throughout the medium.

In accordance with all Langridge Painting Mediums, Low Toxic Painting Medium is formulated with a proportion of oil to solvent that can be used unrestrictedly in glazes and washes without risking unbinding the pigment from the oil.

After 15-25 minutes under normal conditions of applying Langridge Low Toxic Painting Medium the surface will set-up to a tack that grabs any succeeding brush strokes. The wet, but tacky, paint surface can be readily painted into, even quite aggressively, without moving or disturbing the areas of fresh paint underneath. This allows for a wet-in-wet technique with very controlled manipulation of paint including soft blending.
