Put the Kettle On and Get Back to Painting: Introducing Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Colour
Ah, oil paints. The velvety texture, the luminous colours – a joy to use, but let's be honest, sometimes the drying times can feel like watching paint dry (pun fully intended!). We've all been there, yearning to add that next layer but forced to have a cuppa (or three) while our masterpiece patiently waits.
Well, fret no more, fellow artists! For those who adore the richness of oils but crave a bit more pace, Winsor & Newton has a solution that's been around since 1976 – Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Colour.
Now, the science bit: these clever folks took a naturally occurring vegetable oil and gave it a bit of a makeover, transforming it into a resin-like wonder that works much like traditional linseed oil, but dries significantly faster. We're talking touch-dry in 18-24 hours, with a workable window of 4-8 hours – that's enough time to get your creative juices flowing without the frustration of a long wait.
But wait, there's more! Unlike traditional oils where some colours dry like molasses and others are ready for a second date in a flash, Griffin Alkyd boasts consistent drying times across the entire range. This means no more worrying about whether that cadmium red will play nicely with the prussian blue you laid down yesterday. Overpainting becomes a breeze, allowing you to build layers and develop your work with newfound freedom.
So, are you ready to ditch the waiting game and get back to what you love most – painting? Pop the kettle on, grab your favourite Winsor & Newton brush, and give Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Colour a whirl. You might just surprise yourself with how much you can accomplish in a shorter amount of time. After all, a productive artist is a happy artist, wouldn't you say?
