Thinners and Cleaning Products

Paint Thinners, Mediums and Cleaning Products for Artists

At IDEA HOBBY, you can find paint thinners, painting mediums and cleaning products for artists, designed for use with fine art paints and for cleaning and maintaining artists' brushes and other painting tools.

These products serve different purposes. Some are used during painting to modify the consistency or behaviour of paint, while others are designed for cleaning artists' brushes and tools after painting.

Thinners for Oil Paints and Fine Art Painting

Oil paint thinners are used to modify the consistency of oil colours and can make it easier to apply thinner layers of paint. This group includes specialist products for artistic use, such as turpentine and other suitable thinners depending on the painting technique.

When choosing a paint thinner for artists, always consider its intended use and compatibility with the particular type of paint.

Mediums for Oil Painting

Oil painting mediums are added to paint to modify certain properties. Depending on the individual product, a medium may affect consistency, transparency, application, gloss or drying time.

A painting medium and a thinner are not necessarily interchangeable, so the manufacturer's instructions for each individual product should always be followed.

Brush Cleaners for Artists

Proper cleaning of artists' brushes helps remove paint residue and maintain brushes after use. Specialist brush cleaners can be selected according to the type of paint and the materials used.

After working with oil paints in particular, brushes and painting tools should be cleaned with an appropriate product suitable for the materials used.
