FAT MEDIUM BY CHELSEA

Chelsea Fat Medium is a blend of cold pressed, extra pale, linseed oil combined with lavender dammar varnish.

It is recommended for the last layers of the work in fat-on-lean painting techniques.

This medium makes oil paints thicker, richer and brighter, helps to increase the adhesion of the paint film and decreases the drying time of oil colours.

It does not yellow and increases the resistance of the painting over time.

Chelsea Classical Studio's Fat Medium is handmade, using formulas based on historical recipes and techniques, using no harsh chemicals, petroleum-based compounds or turpentine in its manufacture.

May not be suitable for people sensitive to odours as it has a strong herbal scent and is therefore recommended for use in a ventilated area.

Note:
Dammar resin is a natural, slightly yellowish resin that comes from tree sap.
Sometimes, natural residue can be found at the bottom of the bottle from the resin. This residue is inert and will not cause chemical reactions.
