Hi,

I live a long way from an art shop and today I bought Art Spectrum’s Fat Medium for oil painting. At the time I could not find the ingredients, other than hydrocarbon…which is what?… turps? It is supposed to be low odour, I have become sensitive to turps and have been using a tiny bit of citrus turpentine on the lean layers when my paint is too stiff to put on thinly. I have since found out the Art Spectrum fat medium contains Naptha and heavy alkylate. I didn’t want to buy anything alkyd like Liquin. On the label it says it is good for glazing. I have previously used a little bit of linseed oil in the fat layers.

Has anyone used this product? Would love some advice please.
