Mediums

Great results. The matte finish seems to enhance the depth

A little goes a long way. I am an oil painter of nearly six decades and use this rather than linseed oil as a medium.

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.

Este es un varnish mate, a base de agua. Ligero, no pegajoso. Fluye muy bien. Lo uso en mis acuarelas. Pero OJO: hay que pasarlo suave, casi superficial porque hay pigmentos que se van a correr si vuelves a repasar la pincelada, se te pueden regar los colores. Asegurarse de dar una pincelada que cubra y no se tenga que repasar. Seca rápido. Lo recomiendo. No le doy las 5 estrellas porque si no se tiene mucho cuidado, se te puede correr la pintura. Revive los colores de la pintura. Excelente para proteger las pinturas en acuarela. Recomiendo poner un poco del varnish en un recipiente para pintar. No lo use directamente del envase. Si se te corre la pintura, se debes limpiar el pincel para que no manche la próxima pincelada ni manche el contenedor donde se puso el varnish. El varnish es soluble en agua. No daña el pincel si se lava inmediatamente. Un buen producto para los amantes de trabajos en acuarelas da un acabado más profesional.

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.

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.

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.

Does the job as advertised. Dries fast, dreads across canvas easily, matte finish
