Winsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Color Tube

Description

Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Color is a genuine oil color made from pigment and oil modified alkyd resin which can be thinned using conventional oil color solvents. It is this unique formulation which allows Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Color to dry quicker than most oil colors but slower than acrylics. This means that the traditional oil techniques of both impasto and glazing can be done in considerably less time and a painting can be completed in a single session. All colors in the range remain workable on the palette for 4 to 8 hours and are touch dry on the canvas in 18 to 24 hours. The drying time; however, will be affected by the thickness of the paint and the temperature of the environment. A rich dark brown pigment, Burnt Umber is made from natural brown clays found in earth. It was named after Umbria, a region in Italy where it was mined. Burning the raw pigment intensifies its color.
