• Gamblin Oil Painting Medium Guide: www.gamblincolors.com/mediums/...
Painting mediums offer a great deal more than simply extending oil colours. Mediums modify the working properties of oil colour from the tube - from a fluid consistency for expressive mark making to a stiff paste for creating thick, crisp marks. Painting mediums also broaden the visual qualities of our colours - from increasing the transparency of paint layers, to creating a range of surface qualities, from high gloss to matte.

He looks like hes holding back so much sass
yes
he looks like sheldon from big bang theory
This could've not been more accurate from what I was thinking
i would not tangle with this bloke.
@@PHlophe totally!
This video needs to be watched 4-5 times
@Art, Music, & Bible Studies - Joyce H Anderson Art 😸😅
Your Neo Megilp is by far my most favorite oil painting medium. Just incredible!
Great video that explains the purposes of the different mediums very well. I know for sure now that Galkyd Lite is closest to what I'm looking forward.
I would have liked to have seen the gel medium used as well.
Very useful video. I think this must be the only advertisement I've ever seen in my whole life that has persuaded me to buy the product. (seriously !)
can I use straight safflower oil to make the canvas slick and then start painting wet on wet on top. can I use it in the same way liquid clear is used
Scott Gellatly also happens to be an amazing painter as well as a Gamblin expert!
Really well explained Thankyou 👍🏻
Can you telll if you can use galkyd and liquin in same artwork
Helpful thank you.
thx very clear helpful to beginner like me!!
I am going to restretch a couple of my paintings I painted about 20 years ago and take them out of their stretch bars. They haven't been stretched since. Do I need any type of medium to apply to the painting or to the back of the painting to ease stretching? I don't know if I am making any sense.. Just thought to ask. Thank you
Hello, if I started a painting with Liquin, may I continue with your fastest medium? Thank you!😊
So the best alternative to liquin original would be Galkyd light ?
Hi Scott, is Galkyd Lite simply Galkyd with more gamsol? Thanks.
H E L P anyone. Is my understanding correct? If I use the exact same amount of Walnut Alkyd Medium with each new layer of paint, I don't have to be concerned about following the fat over lean principle? I suppose because each of the previous layers are already almost dry chemically when touch dry? Is that true? That would make sense I suppose? I must understand this for sure before I use this medium and begin oil commissioned oil portraits, because they must absolutely be archival, and hopefully I can finish each one quickly. I'm trying to switch from acrylics to oils while having a fast turn around in sales. Thanks for any help.
What is are the oil out products. Do you have premixed oil out products?
How do you prevent Galkyd from drying out? I take a little bit out and put it in an air tight container and after a few days it develops a white sticky film on the top and everything has turned into jelly. This has happened many times to me as well as a few classmates of mine and it is extremely frustrating.
In order to keep Galkyd from drying it needs to not be exposed to air. You'll still have air in and airtight container if it is not filled to the brim with Galkyd (unless you've created a vacuum in the container!). You might want to consider wrapping your Galkyd in cling wrap (cling film/cellophane wrap) prior to putting in an airtight container, or, you could put mix a little linseed oil in with it. Both these options should keep it more liquid for longer.
Ushma Patel see if wrapping the container in cling wrap works ...
Try putting gamsol in it
After trying Neo Megilp I've discovered that I'm not a huge fan of it although it does have some good qualities. That said, I'm wondering if it's okay to switch from using Neo Megilp to using Galkyd Lite on the same painting.
Gamblin says that all their mediums are compatible with one another
Hi Sir I actually do not know what the kind of medium i have to use with oil paintings to make it more workable , easy , and more fluid ? waiting your reply
Thank you
I think he said something about his website and a interactive what-medium-to-use thing
can you put galkyd on the canvas to prime it?
Thanks for watching! It's not advisable to put Galkyd straight on to unprimed canvas as it has oil and solvent content. You will need to still prime canvas with size and oil primer, or acrylic primer.
What about safflower oil
Can Galkyd be used as last layer ? Instead of varnish? Pls advise
That is really helpful! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!

Where can i buy these mediums from? I mean which type of shops?
Hi Muhammad - the links in the description of this video will take you to the individual products on our online shop. You could also visit one of our shops in Hackney, Fulham or Gloucester - more information here: www.jacksonsart.com/ourshops
Cela serait bien en français....j’aime tellement vos produits, merci d’y penser. Thanks to you
I bought Galkyd and Galkyd lite and both are drying inside of the bottle! I never leave my bottles open. I pour a little bit in a container and close my bottles as soon I can. Why is this happening and what can I do to avoid this from happening? Those bottles are ruined now and I don’t jnow if I should buy them again
Maybe try using some plastic wrap under the lid ? I don’t think I’ve ever had that happen with mediums but I have had that happen to my tubs of gesso.
Did you solve your issue?
Try putting the medium in very small jars and that way there is less air inside to cause drying www.amazon.ca/Tebery-1-5oz-Hexagon-Plastisol-Labels/dp/B07J9M1W1W/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=small+glass+airtight+bottles&qid=1566167462&s=kitchen&sr=1-6
Try putting some gamsol in it
@Lizbeth Diaz try storing the bottles upside down so air will not be able to get to the product
Could I use galkyd instead of gamsol for my underpaintings?
No. Just a wash color with turpentine to tone the canvas. Thin.
Yes. You can. But you will have to wait a day or two for it to dry before doing overpainting.
nice...
what do u recommend for beginners?
Galkyd Lite is a good one to start with, and then you can try some of the thicker mediums if you find it makes the paint too fluid
Mix turpentine and linseed oil 50/50. And have fun 🤩
Hi, Do you deliver paint supplies to Europe? I am thinking of buying Gamblin paints and mediums.. Thanks!
Yeah we do - some paints and mediums can't be sent by air though, so it depends whether your area qualifies for delivery by road. The best way to check is just to put the items you want into your basket and then to click 'view basket' in the top right corner of the screen and enter your delivery details for a quote. Hope this helps!
Jackson's Art in the UK also supply Gamblin products
That's a high medium to paint ratio in these examples.
Well, gotta flex don’t they 😂
I’m looking for a medium that doesn’t dry as fast and that keeps my paint thick rather than thinning it out
Cold wax medium, maybe..
Calcium carbonate or Kaolin mixed with linseed oil into a paste.
Total confusion as I am just starting out in oil painting
If you are new, you don't need mediums to paint. Just use turpentine or gamsol to clean your brushes and thin early layers of paint. Use less the more you layer.
Start with linseed oil. Really, there’s tons of vids about ratios, but truthfully, just start with a little and get a consistency you like, forget drying times for now.
I like to start with Galkyd because it's fairly non toxic, and dries over night.
I'm also new. It's funny how everyone has their own advice and how everyone is different. Looks like its just a matter of trying whatever as see how it goes.
I feel like he said it backwards. If a medium is high viscosity wouldn't that cause it to retain brush strokes and low viscosity to level out?
To be technical viscosity does not have a necessarily direct or indirect correlation to it. it is more about the change of structure while it dries/cures that rules that. If it shrinks it flatten out.
Can one use Galkyds with water based oil colors?
Im trying to find this answer out as well
The thinner in water based oil colors is water.
@@mariapilarme obviously, but galkyd is an effective glaze method for adding effects like drips, i searched it up and found out i can
@@d-arts7470 I don’t know who are you, but don’t have a clue what are you saying. It’s only for oil paintings. It’s on the label, petroleum distillate. You mix that with water? Miss informacion seems an epidemic. Please don’t do that.
First you need to be an artist an to me looks like a salesman .You mix everything and don’t know what are you saying.
@@mariapilarme Actually. You can use it with water mixable oils. You just don't mix any water with it. Which kind of defeats the purpose of using water mixable oils....but u can.
no he looks like good doctor
so mediums are for slow dry?
Some help to slow drying times whereas others can speed the drying time of oil colours - this article from Gamblin might be of some help: gamblincolors.com/choosing-painting-medium/
No. Can be for fast drying, for transparent glazing. What they called Sfumato are transparent glazings that dried fast one layer after another it creates a sense of depth.
He's cute.
I thought the same thing 💕
What no lead . Oh but lead gives strength and flexibility to paint and makes it strong and durable .
It’s better to write down each one as heading and take notes under each heading
He seems to be talking to the intermediate painters, not the beginners.
