3 itemsA gel that helps move oil paint around easily whilst retaining texture and brush marks. It must be used 50/50 with paint applied in thick impasto (15-60mm). It is also used by painters who want less extreme applications of paint to dry quickly and retain mark and texture, while being at the same time brushable and easy to manipulate. This applied paint sets up before it dries, facilitating wet-on-wet techniques but it also blends wet-in-wet when worked in with the brush or knife.

2 itemsA loose gel which liquefies when brushed and stays in place when ‘at rest,’ making it useful for developing new techniques. Although it will ‘sit still’ on the painting, if you brush back into it you can blend easily because it moves again when you move your brush into it, until such time as it starts to tack up and dry (within a 3 hour session). You can also brush lightly over it wet-on-wet.
