Lean Medium - When painting in oil, the tradition of 'fat over lean' should be observed. 'Fat,' or more oily paint, must always be applied over 'Lean,' or less oily paint. Lean Medium consists of linseed oil and lavender spike oil essence – a historically documented, alternative solvent for painting that is safer to breathe than turpentine. Lean Medium will thin the paint and make it dry faster. It is recommended for early stages of painting.
