Winsor & Newton Artists' White Spirit - Oil Colour Solvent
Winsor & Newton Artists' White Spirit is a refined, less hazardous solvent ideal for oil and alkyd painting. This petroleum distillate has a slower evaporation rate than Distilled Turpentine, making it suitable for delicate techniques and mixing leaner painting mediums. It effectively increases flow, thins oil colours, and enhances dispersion, especially when working with pale shades.
Commonly used for cleaning brushes and tools, creating your own custom mediums, or prepping surfaces by removing old varnish (excluding Dammar Varnish), this solvent is essential for oil painters seeking control and consistency.
