Low Toxic Paint Medium – Langridge

Low toxicity medium to aid fluidity of oil colours. Initially small additions will aid the flow qualities of existing oil colours. As more medium is added to the oil paint, the transparency will be increased.

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

After 15-25 minutes under normal conditions of applying Langridge Low Toxic Paint 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.
