Green for Oil Gel Medium 40ml

Sennelier "Green for Oil", a solution for artists who are allergic to traditional solvents For many artists, oil paint is the binder that best expresses the intrinsic characteristics of pigments. If it is a natural binder, most often obtained from plants such as flax (linen) or safflower, its implementation requires the use of mineral or turpentine spirits which can annoy some users. These discomforts can go as far as irritations and allergies. These spirits must also be treated when they are in the waste stage. They must not be rejected as is in nature via the sewers but must be deposited in waste treatment centers.

Unlike conventional mediums, "Green for Oil" is a range of mediums and thinner for oil paint that does not contain these spirits because they have been replaced by mixtures of fatty acids and plant esters. The resins and oils used in the "Green For Oil" range are the same as for the standard additives (ketone resin for the medium, safflower oil for the medium in gel). It is the solvents used to use them which are non-toxic and which make the range non-toxic. However, their use requires some precautions so as not to alter the drying time of the work.
