A painting medium for artists is provided and is an essentially homogeneous admixture of raw drying oil and polymerizes drying oil produced by mixing together in a heated state. A thinned version of this medium is provided by mixing an essential oil or alcohol solvent with the essentially homogeneous mixture of raw and polymerized drying oil. The essentially homogeneous mixture of raw and polymerized drying oil is combined with an essential oil or solvent based varnish to produce an artist medium with improved drying properties permitting successive coats of the medium to be applied in relatively short periods of time without the coats or layers bleeding into one another.
