Drying oils act as agglomorating binders for artists’ oil paint and provide body to the brushstroke as the colours are
spread out. Selection of the appropriate oil can alter the working quality of the paint. Performance differences include
paste consistency, texture, effect on paint shades, desired drying time and mechanical strength of the paint film.
Oils dry by absorbing oxygen, turning into a solid, non-reversable film. Full film drying takes up to six months
Safe-Clean-up
A solvent free, non-toxic hand and brush cleaner for safely
removing oil and acrylic paint.
Work into the brush bristles and vigourously massage the
brush until light foaming occurs. Wash brushes in running
water to remove paint. By placing brushes in Safe-Clean-up
overnight it will even remove dried paint.

Langridge Oil Painting Mediums
Oil mediums are used for changing the consistency of the paint, rendering it more convenient for brushing or applying,
or more suitable for the artists’ particular technique, which may require paint that is thicker or thinner, faster or slower
drying, more transparent or opaque.
Glazes are added to paint to create thin, but permanent, veils of paint.
The resin content creates optical depth similar to a colour varnish.
Underpainting Medium
Lean medium to be used for the ‘first-sketch’ in painting.
Low oil content for rapid drying, minimising chances of
cracking when overpainting with full strength colours.
Stand Oil base ensures non-yellowing of artwork.

Langridge Primers
Primers are coats applied to the support to provide a desirable surface on which to paint. Most grounds are white to offer
the brightest reflecting surface for light to act upon. Acrylic primers can be painted directly onto raw canvas. Do not
apply over glue sizing. Oil primers need to have a coat of glue size applied first to protect the raw canvas underneath.
Oil Primer
A traditional linseed oil based oil primer. Produces a high
quality white surface with good tooth and flexibility for oil
painting. Reduces sinking in of colours and imparts good
luminosity. Must be used on a pre-sized support (ie. rabbit
skin glue or GOLDEN GAC100 on canvas or panel).
