Fast-Drying, Solvent-Free Medium for Modern Oil Painting

M. Graham Walnut Alkyd Medium combines the fluidity of walnut oil with the drying speed of alkyd resins to support a faster, more efficient painting process. Designed to thin oil colors, improve paint flow, and boost transparency, this medium accelerates drying while enhancing adhesion between layers. It maintains surface flexibility and increases sheen without compromising color clarity or long-term stability. Because it’s based on walnut oil, it’s non-yellowing and free from solvents—making it a cleaner option for health-conscious artists.

Ideal for both alla prima and glazing techniques, this medium is compatible with all oil colors and other traditional painting mediums. Its balanced formulation allows for smooth application and improved control over layered work. A little goes a long way—just a few drops per inch of paint is typically enough to achieve the desired effect, while overuse may result in beading. For artists seeking enhanced performance without the harshness of traditional solvents, M. Graham Walnut Alkyd Medium offers a practical, professional solution.
