Liquin Oil Mediums from Winsor & Newton

     Liquin Original - A reliable favourite liquid alkyd medium. It's general purpose, low gloss
          improves flow and transparency. Mixes easily for smooth brushwork. Liquin original suits
          a textured oil technique. Available in 75ml, 250ml, 500ml, and 1 litre sizes.
     Liquin Fine Detail - A fluid gloss medium ideal for detailed work and smoothly blended
          areas absent of brushmarks. A modern alternative to traditional copal mediums that
          were based on natural resins. Increased resistance to yellowing. Available in 75ml,
          250ml, and 500ml bottles.
     Liquin Light Gel - Slight gel which breaks down on brushing, flowing to a non-drip effect
          when mixed with colour. Ideal for glazing and looser handling. Dries to a gloss film with
          crack and yellowing resistance. Available in 75ml, 250ml, and 500ml bottles.
     Liquin Impasto - A semi-gloss medium ideal for artists currently using Oleopasto.
          Retains crisp textures without visible levelling. Extends tube colour and safely thickens oil
          colour for heavy brush or knife work. Forms a flexible tough film when dry that can be
          varnished. Available in 60ml and 200ml tubes.
