Liquin Original is the most popular liquid alkydmedium. It is suitable for general use, a low-gloss paint that improves the fluidity and translucency of the color. Liquin speeds up the drying of the color and smoothes brush marks. Excellent when painting thin translucent surfaces. Alkyd-based paints, which have been available for over twenty years, actually offer significant advantages over both oil and Griffin alkyd paint. Generally compared to oil-based paints, they greatly reduce yellowing and age-related color fading, drying cracking, and drying time, which is perhaps the most important feature. Alkyd-based paints can be found under the Liquin label. All Liquin products can be used together with Winsor & Newton's traditional full range of oil colours, such as Artists Oil Colour, Winton Oil Colour, Griffin Fast Drying oil Color and Artists Oilbar. They cut the drying time of oil colors in half from 2-12 days to 1-6 days.
