Gamblin Safflower Oil is ideal for cleaning brushes during solvent-free painting sessions. Wipe away excess paint on a rag or paper towel and dip the brush into Safflower Oil. Work the brush and Safflower Oil on a glass palette or in a ceramic bowl until color floods from the brush. Wipe brush on a clean paint rag and continue painting.
Safflower Oil is also an excellent slow-drying painting medium that increases paint flow. One of the palest, least yellowing of all drying oils, Safflower is the same oil binder used in several Gamblin whites: Radiant White, Titanium-Zinc White, Warm White, Cool White. Use only a small amount (up to 25%) of Safflower Oil straight or thin with 50% Gamsol to use in higher proportions or for thin transparent glazing.
