- This video demonstrates one way to glaze small areas with oil paint. I’m using safflower oil to dilute the paint, however, I have since gone back to using linseed oil.
For your convenience, I’ve compiled a general list of the art supplies mentioned below:
- 1/8 inch angular shader brush: bit.ly/p-1-8-a...
- 1/4 inch angular shader brush: bit.ly/p-1-4-a...
- Super absorbent paper towels: amzn.to/3GDedLF

Do you mostly use safflower oil as medium for your paintings?
Safflower oil is known to yellow much less than linseed. I’m really interested, but there isn’t much info on it as a medium. I see artists use it more commonly as solvent alternative.
Yes, I do use safflower oil as the main medium to thin oil paint. I like safflower oil because: 1) unlike traditional solvents it does not break down the oil in oil paint (which weakens the paint), it just adds more of the existing binder, and 2) it has a lower viscosity than linseed oil, which means you can spread the paint a greater distance. Safflower oil is also a superb medium to create a glaze as the final layer on a painting as seen in this video.
Gamblin says on their site that you can mix safflower oil with an "equal amount Gamsol (solvent) to create a traditional slow-drying, low-viscosity painting medium" but I just use safflower oil on its own.
