What Are the Benefits of Using Oil Mediums?
Oil mediums offer a variety of benefits, including the ability to blend paints smoothly and create rich textures that can be layered over time, providing a professional-quality finish. They also allow for extended working time, which gives artists more freedom to refine their work without rushing, especially when creating detailed or complex compositions. With oil mediums, artists can achieve deep, vibrant colours that stay true and offer greater depth in their paintings, enhancing the richness of the artwork. These mediums also provide excellent control over the paint's viscosity, allowing for detailed brushwork and smooth transitions, which are crucial for certain artistic techniques. The versatility of oil mediums makes them suitable for everything from thin glazes to thick, textured impasto techniques, offering endless creative possibilities.

Watercolour mediums play a key role in enhancing the transparency, fluidity, and blending of watercolours, making them essential tools for achieving vibrant and smooth washes. By adding watercolour medium to the paint, artists can increase the transparency and extend the working time, allowing for delicate layering and subtle blending. These mediums also allow for smoother transitions between colours, helping artists create gradient effects and soft edges that are characteristic of watercolour painting. For artists who want more control over the fluidity of the paint, watercolour mediums offer the ability to modify the consistency, creating a smoother or more textured finish depending on the desired result. The use of watercolour mediums allows artists to push the boundaries of traditional watercolour techniques, creating effects that are both fluid and striking.
