Gamblin 150ml Solvent-Free Gel
Gamblin 150ml Solvent-Free Gel is a contemporary oil painting medium made from safflower oil and alkyd resin, designed to increase flow and transparency without the use of solvents. It has a smooth, gel-like consistency that softens brushmarks slightly while maintaining structure, making it ideal for glazing, extending colour and creating luminous layers. This solvent-free formula improves adhesion and flexibility while keeping colours rich and vibrant. The 150ml size is perfect for studio use, especially for artists looking to reduce solvent exposure while maintaining excellent working properties in their oil paintings.
How to Use
Mix with oil colours
Add a small amount of Gamblin 150ml Solvent-Free Gel to your oil paint on the palette and mix thoroughly. Start sparingly and adjust to achieve the desired flow and transparency.
Glazing and layering
Use to create smooth, transparent glazes with enhanced depth and subtle gloss. It is excellent for building luminous layers while following the fat over lean principle by increasing medium slightly in upper layers.
Improving flow
Blend into thicker oil colours to improve brush movement and reduce drag without thinning with solvent.
Solvent-free practice
Pair with solvent-free studio methods for a lower-odour working environment. Clean brushes with appropriate oil and soap if working completely solvent-free.
Tip: Avoid excessive amounts in a single layer, as too much medium can slow drying and affect surface stability.

Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel is the only solvent-free painting medium that supports a broad range of painting techniques with minimal compromise.
Solvent-Free Gel gives colours more flow and transparency, yet holds the shape of your brushmark. Solvent-Free Gel has a moderately fast drying rate and increases gloss. Made from safflower oil and alkyd resin, Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel is non-toxic and contains no Gamsol or petroleum distillates.
In comparison to other solvent-free mediums, Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel supports the broadest range of painting techniques with the least compromise across colour, dry time, texture and mark-making. To ensure proper drying of paint layers, Solvent-Free Gel should be used in moderation with oil colors. No more than 25% by volume. To avoid wrinkling, apply mixtures of Solvent-Free Gel and oil colors thinly.
To paint solvent-free, we recommend Gamblin Safflower Oil for cleaning brushes while you are working. After your painting session, brushes can be further cleaned using Gamsol and/or soap and water.
