About Winsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Color
Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Color is a genuine oil color made from pigment and oil modified alkyd resin which can be thinned using conventional oil color solvents. It is this unique formulation which allows Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Color to dry quicker than most oil colors but slower than acrylics. This means that the traditional oil techniques of both impasto and glazing can be done in considerably less time and a painting can be completed in a single session. All colors in the range remain workable on the palette for 4 to 8 hours and are touch dry on the canvas in 18 to 24 hours. The drying time; however, will be affected by the thickness of the paint and the temperature of the environment. Vermilion Hue is an opaque, bright orange red. The genuine pigment was made from toxic mercuric sulphide and was created by the Chinese in the 8th century AD. Prior to this, Vermilion's predecessor Cinnabar was used as early as the 3rd century BC by the ancient Greeks.
