Overview
Traditional oils, wonderful as they are, take a very long time to dry. That's why we created our Griffin Alkyds - they dry much more quickly and this means impasto and glazing techniques can be done in a single session. We've created 48 tones and these have a slightly greater level of transparency for increased depth and clarity when glazing. Our Griffins are a bit more fluid in consistency than traditional oils and they dry with a somewhat more reflective surface, too

Faster drying time than traditional oil colour
Following the popularity of acrylic colours, which dry in 10-20 minutes, oil painters began requesting a product which dried faster than traditional oils. Winsor & Newton responded in 1976 by developing a range of alkyd colours, which has today become Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Colour. Alkyds are made from a naturally derived vegetable oil that is polymerized. The result is a resin-like product that, when mixed with a solvent, is very similar to traditional linseed oil. The colours remain workable for 4 to 8 hours and are touch dry in 18 to 24. Consistent drying times across the range removes the usual restrictions that come with conventional oils, making it easier to overpaint, regardless of the colour upon the surface.
