Liquin Fine Detail - This quick drying, non-yellowing, gloss medium is ideal for fine details, glazing and blending. Liquin Fine Detail produces a smooth surface with reduced brushstrokes, allowing your oil painting to dry to a beautiful gloss finish reminiscent of a Van Eyck or Dürer. This medium is touch-dry in one to five days, depending on the climate, colors used and film weight. It is the modern alternative to traditional copal mediums that were based on natural resins, which offered fast-drying properties to artists. Liquin Fine Detail is not suitable as a varnish or final coat.

Liquin Impasto - This oil medium will reduce drying time and improve flow, allowing your oil paintings to dry to a semi-gloss finish. Liquin Impasto is specifically designed for retaining brush strokes and texture in your painting without any visible leveling. It also extends tube color, provides bulk, and allows more blending time. When dry, Liquin Impasto forms a tough and flexible film that can be varnished in the normal way and may be used for heavier brush work or palette knives. Liquin Impasto is not suitable as a varnish or final coat.

The non-yellowing formula liquifies the paint texture and allows the paint to dry faster to aid working with multiple layers. Mix up just enough to brush out your desired amount of paint. You’ll notice mixing just a small amount softens its texture. Not suitable as a varnish or final coat.
