Description

Rapid Medium is a very fast drying alkyd resin for speeding the drying and reducing the consistency of oilcolours. It is especially recommended for “alla prima” painting, transparency painting, and also for the application of upper colour layers on already dried layers. Rapid Medium increases gloss and transparency.

Quick application is necessary as the mixture dries fast on the palette.

Close immediately after use. To be mixed into oilpaint at 10% to a maximum 20%. Always use a palette knife to mix your medium thoroughly into the paint.

ABOUT SCHMINCKE
Schmincke began at the end of the 19th Century, when the colour chemists Josef Horadam and Hermann Schmincke saw an opportunity to provide the artists of the day with a truly superior artists oil, and so set out to Italy where traditional studio painting was still taught, in search of the nearly forgotten resin oil formulations.
In 1881, at the Academy of Fine Art in Florence, they secured the precision formulations of the Professor Cesare Mussini, a guardian of the old masters techniques, and on these formulations, the two founded their manufacturing establishment under the name H.Schmincke and Co.

In subsequent years, artists’ colours to suit all techniques were introduced, such as Josef Horadam’s patent watercolours of 1892. Through the entire 20th century, every generation of owner has lead the company to its current position as one of the worlds leading manufaturers of finest artists’ colour.
