Frequently Asked Questions

How should I use oil paint thinner?

Pour a tiny bit of oil paint thinner into the container to get started. Use a brush, cloth, or palette knife to dip into the thinner to remove paint or clean brushes. Until the desired outcome is achieved, lightly wipe or scrub the oil paint surface. Mix the thinner with the paint on your palette until the desired consistency is reached when using oil paint for techniques like glazing or achieving a smoother texture. Before using oil paint thinner be cautious and choose an open area. 

What differentiates a paint medium from an additive?

The majority of the time, paint additives only slightly alter the texture or drying time of the paint while barely affecting its color or transparency. The fundamental characteristics of the paint, such as its color, transparency, and sheen, can, however, be changed by paint mediums.
