Gamblin Solvent-free Gel is the only solvent-free painting medium that supports a broad range of painting techniques with minimal compromise.
Solvent-free Gel gives colours more flow and transparency, yet holds the shape of your brushmark. It has a moderately fast drying rate and increases gloss. Made from safflower oil and alkyd resin, Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel is non-toxic and contains no Gamsol or petroleum distillates.
In comparison to other solvent-free mediums, Gamblin Solvent-free Gel supports the broadest range of painting techniques with the least compromise across colour, dry time, texture, and mark-making. To ensure proper drying of paint layers, Solvent-free Gel should be used in moderation with oil colours—no more than 25% by volume. To avoid wrinkling, apply mixtures of Solvent-free Gel and oil colours thinly.
Like linseed oil and walnut oil, Gamblin Solvent-free Gel can effectively clean brushes during your painting session. For clean-up after painting, we recommend Gamsol and/or soap and water.
