FAQs About Painting Mediums
Painting mediums are additives used to alter the texture, drying time, transparency, and finish of paints. They’re essential in oil, acrylic, and watercolour painting for achieving various effects.
Linseed oil, turpentine, and alkyd mediums are commonly used in oil painting. They extend drying time, increase fluidity, and enhance gloss or matte finishes, depending on the formula.
Acrylic mediums are only compatible with acrylic paint. Do not mix them with oil or watercolour, as they have different chemical properties and will not bind effectively.
Watercolour mediums include ox gall for improved flow, gum arabic for increased transparency and gloss, and granulation medium to emphasise pigment texture on paper.
Choose a medium based on your painting style and needs. Use flow improvers for smooth brushwork, retarders for extended blending time, or texture gels for surface effects.
Most acrylic and watercolour mediums are low-odour and safe. Oil painting mediums may emit fumes; ensure good ventilation and follow safety guidance on the product label.
