Artists' Grade Gamsol Oil Color Size: 16.9 oz

The gamsol is a great solvent. I use this for cleaning my oil brushes in a Windsor and Newton Siicoil jar and it works great. I also use this as a thinner in a small bottle where I can put a drop out on my palette. The price is good and delivery is quick

I had to purchase this for an oil painting class I took. It's basically used to thin out the oil paint and it works great! It doesn't change the color of the paint and it's easy to clean up. I made a lot of paintings during that class so this was very helpful in making my oil paints last longer and get more use out of them.

Bought on the advice of Paint Coach. The odor from this is very tolerable for what it is. And it's a good quality for sure. I'm will be a Gamsol for life user.

I love this product even though it's quite pricey. It cleans the brushes between colors very well. It's also a must to thin down paint.

My wife is an amazing artist (setting aside my bias) but had never used oils before. We started watching the Bob Ross streaming channel and I slowly but surely talked her into giving it a try as an outlet for her creativity. After trying a host of products she was ready to throw away her brushes and send me to the couch. I had ordered the gamsol product based on a YouTube video and wow! She loves it and it has used it to work the paint so that it does what she wants and it has saved me from the couch. An amazing product with excellent performance, appearance and thickness. It should be considered as requisite as paint, brushes and a canvas when it comes to oil painting.

Liked it for no scent, but didnt keep my brushes clean enough.

This is an excellent solvent for colored pencils! Take a paintbrush, wet the paintbrush either by dipping it in gamsol or dipping a bit of paper towel in the gamsol and wetting the brush with it, then dab the brush on the paper towel to absorb any excess (you don't need a ton of solvent, less can be more). Then gently and carefully paint the areas you would like to blend. Make sure the area you'd like to blend has plenty of pigment and layers on it already, and you'll be able to fill in the white spots really nicely. If it doesn't have enough pigment, the solvent will just push the colors around and make it look light/patchy but if you have enough, it will be fine and blend things beautifully. Also be careful and blend starting from light to dark and wipe the paintbrush off every so often to avoid your drawing getting muddy from dark colors blending into lighter areas. The attached picture shows a drawing of hair before using gamsol on the left and after using it on the right (the outer parts that still have white spots are just areas where I hadn't used it yet)

Always excellent product for oil painting.
