Winsor & Newton Oil Colour Solvents
Winsor & Newton Solvents are used to dilute the oil colour, as well as for cleaning brushes and palettes after the painting session. W&N Solvents made for use by artists are intended to be fully volatile, meaning that upon evaporation from the paint mixture, they leave no residual matter behind. “Hardware/DIY grade” solvents, though lower in cost, are not refined to the degree required by artists, and will often leave a tacky painting surface where used, and a paint film that won’t fully dry.
Distilled Turpentine - fast evaporating, highly refined essential oil with the strongest thinning & brush cleaning power of all Artists’ grade solvents. It is suitable for removing varnish, including Dammar Varnish. Distilled Turpentine makes a viscous mixture. It is the most hazardous & strongest smelling solvent used by artists.
Artists' White Spirit (mineral spirit) makes a watery mixture, evaporates quickly, is less hazardous, less costly, and does not deteriorate on storage.
Sansodor - makes a viscous mixture, evaporates slowly, is the least hazardous, costs approximately the same as turpentine, does not deteriorate on storage, and has minimal odour.
Artists' Picture Cleaner - natural resin / oil emulsion containing ammonia designed for cleaning varnished paintings. It works by dissolving linseed oil oxidation and will remove surface dirt and the products of oxidation in the old varnish. Clean small areas with cotton wool pads. When cleaning is complete remove any remaining cleaner with distilled turpentine. Batch colour and settlement may vary.
Brush Cleaner - this water-mixable solvent removes dried oil, alkyd & acrylic colour from brushes. Soak in the cleaner overnight & scrub if necessary. Cleanable with water.
