Designed for use with fat-over-lean oil painting techniques, this medium makes oil paints fatter, richer, and glossier. It also helps increase paint film adhesion and decreases drying time for oil colors. Recommended for use in the later stages of painting. This high-quality fine art medium is meticulously handcrafted using formulas based on historic recipes and techniques. No harsh chemicals are used in its production, so it's safer for artists than other oil painting mediums. It comes in glass bottles.
This product contains Lavender Spike Oil Essence, which is a historically documented solvent used since the Renaissance. It is non-carcinogenic and has a strong herbaceous scent. Use in a well-ventilated area, and it may not be suitable for people who are sensitive to strong scents.
Q: WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PAINT FAT OVER LEAN? A: Fat-over-lean is a fundamental technique that every painter should be aware of if they wish to prevent cracking, delaminating, imperfect drying, and uneven gloss in their painting.
Q:HOW DO YOU PAINT FAT OVER LEAN? A: Fat over lean means to paint so that each successive layer of paint is fat and contains more oil than the lean layer preceding it. To paint fat over lean, begin by using our lean medium and simply add more fat medium each successive day of painting. Or, if you would like complete control over your painting medium, add your own ratio of oil and/or damar varnish accordingly.
Q: IF A PAINT LAYER IS THICKER THAN THE LAYER OF PAINT BELOW IT, BUT IT DOES NOT CONTAIN VERY MUCH OIL, DOES THAT STILL FOLLOW THE FAT OVER LEAN PRINCIPLE? A: Don't be mistaken, a fat layer of paint has nothing to do with the thickness of the paint. Fat over lean refers to the amount of oil in the most recent layer of paint relative to the dried layer below it.

CLICK AND COLLECT SHIPPING OPTION
Click and Collect is selectable as a shipping option and as no shipping charges are incurred by Parkers Sydney Fine Art Supplies, no charge is applied at checkout.
The Click and Collect option, as a free shipping option, is conditional upon the customer collecting the order directly from The Rocks store – 3 Cambridge Street – The Rocks – NSW – 2000, during standard business hours, once the customer has been advised the order is ready and compiled for collection.
If this option is selected as part of the checkout process and the customer cannot collect the order in person, the customer agrees that arrangements will be made for a paid shipping option to be applied to the order and paid, prior to the order being shipped.
Click and Collect orders must be collected by the purchaser of the order with proof identity provided at the time of collection. This is to avoid fraudulent online transactions.
PACKING OF FRAGILE ITEMS
Paper is a fragile product, and our goal is to ensure it arrives to you safely. Extra packing will be used to ship it safely and although we do not charge for this, there may be an increase in logistics charges. We recommend that you consider purchasing a minimum of 5 sheets or pack quantities to both save on purchase price and shipping charges.
We aim to ensure you receive your art supplies in good condition.
ORDER FULFILLMENT
Orders that include all in stock items, that are received prior to 1pm (Monday to Friday), will generally be processed and shipped the same day. At the time of shipping you will receive a confirmation of your order having been sent and a tracking link so you can check estimated delivery times and the status of your delivery at all times.
FULFILLMENT OF BACK ORDERS
Products may display as in stock online, however during the period of the order being received to our physical store, the item may have changed to a status of 'out of stock' due to sales crossover from instore purchases. On these occasions one of our staff members will contact you and offer to order the product in (Australian suppliers only) and ship the order complete, when the ordered product has arrived. This may delay shipping by up to 4-5 days. We can also arrange to remove the product from the order and ship the balance of the goods to you. At all times we will keep you informed and will be guided by your instructions.
Unfortunately we do not offer freight free shipping of back orders.
