Gamblin : Fastmatte Alkyd Oil Paint 37ml : Chromatic Black

Gamblin FastMatte Alkyd Oil Colours are artists’ oil quality paints with a rapid drying time. The drying time of Gamblin FastMatte oil is dependent on the thickness of the paint layers used, but thin layers will be touch-dry and ready to be painted over in 24-hours. The consistent drying rate of FastMatte colours means that a painter can return to an artwork with a dry surface the following day. This quality, achieved by the paint’s alkyd resin-based binder, along with the matte finish and the ground-like tooth of the paint, makes FastMatte an ideal choice for under painting.

FastMatte colours are compatible with Gamblin painting mediums and traditional oil colours. When thinning FastMatte colours use equal parts of Galkyd and Gamsol. This mixture, if used in moderation, will thin colours without slowing dry-times or significantly increasing gloss. Gamvar Picture Varnish may be applied to saturate colours and impart a uniform satin or gloss surface to the finished work.
