What it isWinsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd Oil Colour — a fast-drying oil paint for painters who want oil quality without the long wait. The materialsGriffin is formulated with alkyd resin rather than traditional linseed oil, which dramatically accelerates drying: colours are touch-dry in 18–24 hours. Pigment load is equivalent to the Artists’ range and the working properties — blending, impasto, glazing — are indistinguishable from conventional oil. Who it’s forPlein air painters who can’t wait days for layers to dry, studio painters who work over multiple sittings, and artists who want to use oil techniques for illustration or commercial work with tighter deadlines. How to use itUse with alkyd or liquin-based mediums to accelerate drying further if needed. Can be mixed with conventional oil paints but adding Griffin to traditional oil slows the drying benefit significantly. Why we stock itGriffin fills a genuine gap — the painter who loves oil but needs it to move faster. It’s a serious, professional option.
