Description

Langridge Low Toxic Painting 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. The medium has been constructed as an alternative to traditional turpentine based painting mediums for artists concerned about exposure to harmful solvents. Use also Langridge Low Toxic Solvent.

Langridge Low Toxic Painting Medium is a safe, odourless alternative to traditional turpentine. Use it to thin oil paints, improve paint flow, and create glazes. Because of its specialized formulation, it creates a “tacky” surface in just 15-30 minutes, which is highly prized by artists for wet-in-wet blending and layering.

The primary uses and benefits of Langridge Low Toxic Painting medium include:

• Improved Flow & Handling:  Use to brush out oil paints without losing their structural binding.
• Wet-in-Wet Technique: The medium “tacks-up” quickly, meaning the paint sets to a sticky surface that grabs new brushstrokes. Paint aggressively into fresh, underlying layers without smearing or muddying the colours.
• Creating Glazes: It disperses pigment smoothly to create transparent washes and glazes without risking the paint film.
• Health & Safety: Use to replace hazardous, strong-smelling solvents like turpentine or white spirits. This significantly reduces your exposure to toxic fumes.

Enamel Finish: Used in higher quantities (more than 50% of your paint mixture), it dries with a smooth, enamel-like finish.
