This medium is added to the paint at the palette. It mixes easily with oil paints creating a modified paint with a multitude of benefits. The paint dries faster, becomes more durable, less prone to shrinking and cracking and has an even sheen regardless of the pigment. Paint remains the same colour after years of aging regardless of lighting. Any proportion will make good paint and it can be used to thin or extend paints. It toughens the paint at the same time. The acrylic component has UV blocking properties and is a special acrylic dispersion which does not contain ammonia. Ammonia must be avoided in oil paints as it causes yellowing and darkening of the paint.

This medium is formulated with drying oil esters and acrylics. It contains minor amounts of propylene glycol.  Hybrid Medium is a creamy white liquid that dries to a clear film and it is non-toxic. No VOCs, no ammonia.
