Review: The best medium - The best painting medium for oil paint, I love the way it drives the brushstroke and the glossy or semi-matt finish I get after it dries. The fact that it is non-yellowing is a huge plus. I like also mixing it with a bit of linseed oil to slow or balance the drying time. Works marvellous both on canvas and wood panel. I’m in love with it❤️.
