These mediums are added to the paint at the palette. They mix easily with oil paints creating an oil-alkyd-acrylic emulsion paint with a multitude of benefits. The paint becomes more durable, less prone to shrinking and cracking and dries with 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. I like to thin my paints using this medium. It toughens the paint at the same time. This medium makes a very good paint binder as well. Grind your pigments with oils to a very thick paste then reduce this paste with the Hybrid Medium until it reaches the consistency you prefer. The acrylic component has UV blocking properties and is a special acrylic dispersion which does not contain ammonia. Ammonia causes yellowing.

This medium is formulated with oils, alkyd resins and acrylics. It contains minor amounts of surfactants, wetting agents, and propylene glycol.  Hybrid Medium is a creamy white liquid that dries to a clear film similar to oils and it is non-toxic. No VOCs, no ammonia.
