For beginners and switchers
Start right away with NORMA Blue: Even without prior knowledge, you can paint directly in oil. The colours can be used pure, simply diluted with water or in combination with the NORMA Blue mediums on canvas or on oil painting paper. The brushes, palette knives and palettes can also simply be cleaned with water and a little soap if necessary. And experienced oil painters interested in working without solvents will also be pleased not only with the finest NORMA quality but also with the increased environmental compatibility.
NORMA Blue mediums for water-mixable oil colours
A huge benefit: NORMA Blue can simply be painted and cleaned with water. Another plus is that there are five special mediums that make painting with water-mixable oil paints even more fun. They have an accelerating or retarding effect on the drying time, increase gloss and glaze and are suitable as thinner to intensify the typical "oil feeling". A special linseed oil rounds off the NORMA Blue range of mediums.
Good to know: Except for the “Painting medium Blue”, all other mediums of this series can also be used with traditional oil paints.
