Alkali Refined Linseed Oil is a very pure, highly refined artist quality linseed oil.
Stand Oil is a thicker processed form of linseed oil with a slower drying time and a superior resistance to yellowing and darkening.
Tri-Art Cobalt Drier significantly accelerates the drying time of oil paints. This drier is very potent and should be used sparingly.
Lightest in colour, Safflower Oil is used for mixing with light colours and for wet on wet applications.
D-limonene is a safe substitute for harsh chemical thinners.
All are solvent-free and come from natural, renewable sources. Each has its own unique flow when mixed with colours. These technical grade drying oils may be used with oil colour for extending, reducing viscosity, glazing techniques or as a mixing media.
A drying oil obtained by pressing hemp seeds. Hemp Oil is the darkest of our oils. It is greener in colour than the other oils. When mixed with light colours a greenish hue may result.
Made by compressing sunflower seeds Tri-Art’s Sunflower Oil is very clear in colour, similar to safflower oil but lighter.
Made by pressing the nut of the tung tree. Tung Oil has historical applications in house paint. Tung Oil dries hard and glossy and does not darken noticeably with age. It should be used in thin applications on hard substrates to avoid cracking due to the strain of a flexing surface.
Alkyd is a semi synthetic polymer which significantly accelerates the drying time of oil colours.
A thickened gel version of the Alkyd Medium. It significantly accelerates the drying time of colours without losing all of their viscosity.
Odourless Solvent is a virtually scent-free, mild, pure mineral spirit that has had the maximum amount of the harmful aromatic solvents removed.
Orange Scented Thinner is a very mild, pure mineral spirit with a light orange fragrance which can be used for thinning oil paints and mediums, cleaning brushes and painting tools.
Dammar Varnish is a traditional, soft varnish used to unify luster (gloss or matte), increase colour saturation, protect the painted surface and allow for ease of future cleaning.
Liquid White Oil is a fluid, highly pigmented white oil paint made from the highest grade Titanium pigment and pure, alkali refined safflower oil.
Our Cold Waxes are solvent free mediums. They are made with naturally bleached beeswax and safflower, sunflower, or hemp oil. All are paste-like in consistency. Mix with Oil colours in a ratio of 30-50% to extend and thicken paints. If applying thickly, a rigid surface is recommended to avoid cracking. All may be thinned to a more liquid state by adding Tri-Art’s fluid ECO Oils.
