Archival Odourless Oil Medium Lean - 500ml

Archival Odourless Oil Medium Lean is a fast-drying liquid alkyd resin medium used to reduce paint viscosity. By altering the body of the paint it creates better glide and spreadability making it ideal for underpainting and thinner paint techniques.

The odourless formulation makes for a pleasant painting experience without giving off nasty fumes that other solvents like turpentine can. 

Dries with a low sheen within 24 hours. 

Features:

• 500ml plastic botlle

• Odourless and low-toxicity formula

• Does not impact paint pigment or hue

• Low sheen

• Hint: not suitable for use as a finishing varnish

About the Brand

Chroma Australia is dedicated to providing high-quality paint for artists, teachers, students and anyone who enjoys painting. Founded and still manufacturing in Sydney, Australia, in 1965 by artist and educator Jim Cobb, Chroma’s focus is and has always been on the development of both innovative and quality products. A high school teacher at that time, Jim was frustrated at not being able to source artists’ paint with the qualities that he wanted for his own and his students’ art. Jim began badgering household paint manufacturers in Sydney’s west for supplies to experiment with. This was the start of a lifetime of passion for developing paints specifically formulated to meet the changing needs of artists and students.

Shortly after, Jim founded Chroma Australia (formerly Chroma Acrylics) in Mt Kuring-Gai in Sydney’s upper north shore and successfully supplied Australia and beyond (exporting to several countries) with quality artists materials and advice ever since. Chroma Inc was founded in the USA some 20 years later and is also a success story.

Chroma Australia is a member of Sedex which is a global membership organization dedicated to driving improvements in ethical and responsible business practices across global supply chains to help protect people’s working conditions and their environment.
