The paint medium consists of synthetic resin, * boiled linseed oil and odorless solvent. Experience better control over the consistency of the paint, greater clarity, fast and uniform drying, greater elasticity and better preservation of the artwork.

 *Advantages of boiled linseed oil compared to raw linseed oil:

 *Faster drying: Thanks to the boiling, the linseed oil hardens faster, which speeds up the drying time of the painted layer.

 *Greater resilience and flexibility: Forms a more elastic film that is less prone to cracking than raw linseed oil.

 *Better adhesion and covering power: The oil has a denser and more viscous consistency, which improves the application of the color and its adhesion to the substrate.

 *Less yellowing: The oil tends to yellow less over time than raw linseed oil.

 *Clarity and chromatic depth: The oil gives the colors a brighter and more transparent finish, ideal for lasering.

 The advantages of this paint are that the different components dry in their own way. Linseed oil dries by what is called polymerization (oxygen absorption) which causes the painted layer to expand. This volume expansion is offset by the evaporation of the solvent in which the resin is dissolved. This reduces the risk of cracking! The paint gives you greater clarity, fast and uniform drying, greater elasticity and better preservation of your artwork. Antique pictures painted with a mixture of oil and resin speak their own language about preservation.
 A paint or medium usually contains two or more components, in this case an odorless solvent whose purpose is to dilute the binder (linoleum oil) and the resin so that the paint becomes easier to work with.
 NOTE!: With resin oil paint (paint with resin paint medium), you can even paint in a semi-dry undercoat without risking cracking. When painting with pure oil paints (without adding paint medium), it is important not to overpaint areas before the underlying oil paint is dry. If you paint in a sticky oil paint, the result can be cracking and later darkening of the colors. This is avoided by using this paint medium.
 Resin oil paints dry faster and more evenly than pure oil paints, are more lasing, have the depth of resin oil and dry on a greasy ground with a certain shine. Painters of the Renaissance and especially the Baroque mostly used resin oil paints. The advantage of resin oil paints is that a large part of the binder is made up of resin, which, compared to oil, yellows less or not at all. It has always been common to use Dammar and Mastic as resin, but our painting medium is made with hydrocarbon resin, which does not yellow at all. When mixed with linseed oil, the hydrocarbon resin increases the shine and hardness. It improves the mechanical properties (elasticity), adhesion and the ability to form a surface film in addition to providing UV resistance.
 This resin paint can also be used as an intermediate varnish or retouching varnish as it is also called. Rubens used intermediate varnish between the different layers and never painted on matte or “smeared” parts of the painting (see final varnish) without first giving them an intermediate varnish. The paint is not suitable as a final varnish!
