Gamblin Fast Dry Alkyd Artist Grade Oils - Titanium White
Compared to regular, non-alkyd (artist's grade colors) whites, Gamblin's Fast Dry Titanium White's speed of drying is much more in pace with the rest of your oil palette. This for all applications- and especially for thick applications - makes it a much better choice when using regular artist grade oils. The closer the drying times of your various paints, the more stability your paint surface will have as it dries. This minimizes the risk of eventual art conservation issues like cracking, spalling, and inadvertently painting over uncured paint.
It is brilliant and opaque. If less opacity is what you require, it can be diluted with a gel medium, like Gamblin Solvent Free Gel, which will decrease the opacity of the paint.
This structurally bright and strong white has no lead or other toxic pigments in it, no zinc that will make it crack over time, and unlike other alkyds, virtually all the toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been eliminated because of the choice of drying agent - Gamsol. This iproduct is a must-have for oil painters. I would implore all oil painters, of any kind of practice to switch from whatever whites you are using, over to this white as the only one you use.
