Gamblin Solvent Free Gel Medium 37Ml

Great medium for working with oil paints. Dries well and mixes great. It has a nice gel consistency. Mostly odorless. A little goes along way. Beginner friendly medium, would recommend!

The redundancy in that statement is self explanatory for me 🧐. This is a nice, light, clear, odorless gel and mixes easily on whatever you are using as a palette with no mess and for me, less error resulting in expensive paint waste.It is much easier to control as a clear gel in a tube, and easier to clean up.I am very glad this was recommended to me, and I highly recommend it if you are looking for an alternative to what you are currently using.I have even used it in place of liquid clear in a pinch on 18x24 canvases a couple times, and it did not put a major dent in the smaller 37ml tube size.I use it very/most frequently to make my Bob Ross Titanium White into something that resembles actual paint… it is so ridiculously thick and unworkable that it is hard for me to even squeeze enough out of the tube on bigger projects.Thank goodness I did find this, as I made the mistake of buying a 6.7oz tube; I’ll be switching to another brand when I finally get through it.

This works great to use as a medium with oil paints.. It pthins the paint and helps application and maintains color .

I have found this to be one of the best mediums on the market for thinning my oil paints. I love that it’s non toxic and works well with any oil paint. I would only cation on using too much because it can make your paints glossy if you use too much. This photo is an example of me using a lot to do the reddish lights on the platform because I wanted them glossy. If you don’t want a glossy finish use it sparingly.

I just started using this a few days ago and I’m completely sold! Was smaller than I expected, but needs to be used sparingly anyway. The bottle says mixing this with your paint should make up less than 25% of the body. What I’ve been doing is mixing a tiny dab with my colors and thinning the colors out from there with my normal mediums. Ends up being maybe 40% oil paint, 40% Galkyd, and 20% of this Gamblin gel. It’s smooth and dries so fast! My first layer is almost completely dry in 2 days! Using just the Galkyd (which also speeds drying) would take at least a week to get touch dry unless I was using incredibly, incredibly thin layers. And using linseed oil takes even longer still.So overall, VERY happy with this product. And the small size I got really is just perfect considering how you should use sparingly. Definitely worth the money. (Added pic of size in comparison with standard size eraser)

What a great product!! I never knew oils could be so silky smooth!!If you want flow and ease and paint extension, get this product!!I thought it was a faster drying medium and it is a day faster. I live in a very humid climate and oils dry very slowly, so every little bit helps.All in all a very good product. It goes a long way and is a good value. I got the 37 ml (1.25 oz) tube and have used it every day and barely made a dent in the amount of product. It will be a mainstay of my daily oil painting hobby.

I ruin canvases via PAPainting. This, I can just put on my palette like toothpaste. So much easier than linseed oil. It does not make my paintings any better.

Great mixes very well with my oil painting to glide through fine.
