Fast-drying

The Fast-Drying Drying Agent for the Arts is a zirconium-based drying agent dissolved in mineral spirits.
It is used to accelerate the deep-curing (through-hardening) of oil paints. It can be added to commercially available tube paints or to the Artisan Pastellier oil grinding medium when grinding pigments.
L’Artisan Pastellier’s Fast Drying Medium for the Arts also improves the quality and hardness of the oil paint film without causing yellowing; it is particularly well-suited for light colors. Adding the drying medium makes it easier to work with thick layers and also reduces drying time

Directions for Use:
Application: For ready-to-use paints, add 1 drop of fast-drying medium per hazelnut-sized amount of paint, and mix thoroughly and evenly to prevent uneven hardening of the paint layer. For colors that dry slowly, you may double this amount; however, use the drying agent with caution and avoid overuse. An excess of drying agent can cause the paint layer to crack.
For those who grind their own pigments: Ideally, you can add the quick-drying siccative to the grinding medium from L’Artisan Pastellier (1 drop of quick-drying siccative per hazelnut-sized amount of paint); as with tube paints, however, you should be careful about the amount of siccative added.
