Archival Oil Mediums are designed to work as a system, giving artists easy control of paint consistency, handling and drying properties. The mediums can be used in any combination to produce exactly what the artist desires. When mixed with Archival Oils they also promote fast drying. (Note: paint on the palette does not dry fast until after a medium is added.)

Chroma Solvent Finishing Varnishes are solvent-based, non-yellowing strippable varnishes which allow paintings to be cleaned more easily later by swabbing with mineral spirits. Chroma Solvent Finishing Varnishes are available in Satin, Gloss and Invisible. Invisible Varnish provides a protective coating and does not alter the surface quality of a painting.
