Winsor & Newton Distilled Turpentine

Specially refined for artists use, Winsor & Newton Solvents are used to dilute oil color and may be used to clean oil painting brushes, palettes and surfaces.

Winsor & Newton uses 100% recycled plastic in their ergonomically designed bottles. Due to using recycled plastic, the material will sometimes have a tint to it, either slightly green or slightly yellow. Rest assured, the medium inside will be the normal color.

Distilled Turpentine - Winsor & Newton Distilled Turpentine can be used to create your own painting mediums and for cleaning brushes. Distilled Turpentine is derived from pine trees and is the most traditional solvent, removing dried oil, alkyd, and acrylic paints from brushes and painting tools. Distilled Turpentine can be used to remove varnishes, including Dammar Varnish, from artwork. Mix just enough solvent with paint to thin to the desired degree. To clean tools, first wipe paint off, then dip them into the liquid. A separate cup or container can be helpful to avoid polluting the solvent entirely. Please note that it needs to be kept tightly closed and away from light to prevent oxidation. Do not use it if it has thickened.
