Gamblin Galkyd G Gel 150 Ml

A must have if you paint in oils! Love it. Came quickly

This makes paintings shiny and fun to spread thick oil paint. Liberating.

I became allergic to turpentine a few years back. As an artist my bravado became seriously limited. This is the best thing I have found for getting a little "tack" early on in my underpainting in order to add more layers. Wish I could say I love it but it is the absolute best and closest so far. As an update and addendum, yes it is marvelous mixed with cold wax as well! But another great trick is when you begin to lay out your paints, (I always start with white in my upper left corner), I will mix my white 50/50 with this gel using my palette knife. Doing so will have your white drying as fast as everything else.

If you are frustrated and tired of your licquin / Galkyd drying up in the bottle; this stuff is for you.If you paint 'on the spot'- plein aire - on location outside; you may like this medium because it won't run down your palette. I use it most of the time. I can visually measure it, and apply to pigments at ratios I want. btw/ shipped fast, came in great sharp, not dented or squished.

You can stretch any pigment to near complete dilution with this stuff, and it will still have the body to retain brushstroke marks if that's desired, or smooth them out to be undetectable.I know they aren't attempting to be the same product or anything... but with a little spirits added as well, this stuff has me buying absolutely ZERO Liquin from here on out.Liquin dulls somewhat. This stuff does not.Other than being a bit glossy for my taste, this is a perfect product.

Good quality regular price great

This was the product that I mixed with cold wax for a cold wax art workshop! It made a great mix with oil paint for a great abstract piece!

This is an important additive to your cold wax and oil paint if you want the drying process to be quicker. It works very well and a dab goes a long ways. Mind you it still gives you plenty of time to make changes and revisions to your painting. I recommend it for those of you who want to save a little bit of time waiting between layers.
