Gamblin Solvent-Free Oil Painting Mediums let artists enjoy the freedom and brilliance of oil painting—without the use of harsh solvents. Made from high-quality safflower oil and alkyd resin, these mediums are perfect for artists working in home studios, schools, or shared spaces where studio safety is a top priority.
Solvent-Free Gel: Dense and buttery, this gel medium is ideal for artists who want to maintain brushmarks and add subtle flow without sacrificing texture. It gives oil paint a more luscious feel while boosting gloss and color saturation.
Solvent-Free Fluid: Offers a moderately faster drying time than traditional oils alone and increases the flow of oil colors off the brush. Thin layers dry to the touch in 48–72 hours. Perfect for direct painting techniques and for artists who want less drag on the brush.
Safflower Oil: An excellent choice for safe brush cleaning without solvents. Use with a simple two-rag method to keep brushes clean during solvent-free sessions, while protecting the environment and your studio air quality.
