FastMatte hues are synergistic with Gamblin mediums and traditional oil pigments. Dilution of these colors can be best achieved with a 50/50 ratio of Galkyd and Gamsol, which modulates texture without delaying dry-times or producing a glossy finish. A Gamvar Picture Varnish coat can then be used to enrich colors and yield a unified satin or glossy surface. This 24-hour drying period, matte exterior, and compatibility make FastMatte a prime selection for underpainting. Their balanced pigmentation selection of earth, mineral, and modern hues was selected for its ideal blending characteristics for all oil painting methods and themes.
