Camel Turpentine Oil (Trusted Medium) – Odorless Solvent & Thinner for Oil Colors

A foundational requirement for traditional oil painting, Camel Turpentine Oil is the trusted choice for dissolving and thinning your oil colors. Used primarily in the initial layers of a painting, turpentine allows for the creation of thin, matte, and fast-drying underpaintings.

Our high-quality formula acts as a powerful solvent, thinning oil paint for smooth application and serving as the best cleaner for your brushes, palettes, and equipment after a painting session. Using turpentine allows you to follow the critical “fat over lean” principle, ensuring the longevity and durability of your artwork.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Essential Solvent: The traditional and most effective thinner for all artist-grade oil colors and varnishes.
• Fast-Drying: Used to create the leanest (least oily) paint consistency, which is vital for quick-drying underlayers and sketches.
• Excellent Cleaner: Highly effective for deep-cleaning brushes and removing sticky residues of oil paint, preventing hardening and damage to brush bristles.
• Trusted Brand: From Camel, a recognized name in artist supplies, ensuring reliability and quality in your medium.
• Matte Finish: Thins paint down to a low-viscosity consistency, which dries with a desirable matte finish for subsequent layers.

Usage Note: Turpentine is typically used in the early stages of an oil painting (“lean” layers). Always ensure proper ventilation when using solvents.

The Camel Turpentine Oil is the cornerstone of an oil painter’s studio, providing precision control over paint consistency and serving as a crucial clean-up solvent.
