Oiling out explained | Winsor & Newton Masterclass
In this masterclass, learn how to restore and maintain the vibrancy of your oil paintings through oiling out and retouching varnish. Using Winsor & Newton Stand Oil and Sansodor, this video demonstrates how to mix and apply a balanced oiling-out medium to revive dull, sunken paint layers and even out surface saturation. You'll see how you can remove excess oil for a smooth finish and how to continue painting safely following the fat over lean rule. The session also introduces retouching varnish - a ready-to-use, quick drying solution ideal for correcting localised dull areas and improving paint adhesion. Perfect for professional artists seeking to maintain consistent colour depth and surface integrity throughout their work.
