Chelsea Classical Studio : Clarified Fat Medium Lavender

Chelsea Classical Studio Clarified Fat Medium is an oil medium that decreases drying time and increases gloss. A 'fat' medium refers to the Fat Over Lean technique, which means to apply a paint layer rich in oil (fat) over a layer with less oil (lean) on a painting. This principle is fundamental to controlling the paint adhesion, drying time and glossiness of oil paints.

This medium is crafted from a mixture of pure, extra-pale, cold pressed linseed oil and lavender damar varnish. The ingredients are handcrafted to ensure the highest quality products. This fine art quality medium has a large oil content mixed with a varnish so is considered fairly fat, rich, and glossy. There are no carcinogenic fumes since neither turpentine or petroleum is used.
