Solvents

Winsor & Newton Artists White Spirit is a volatile, flammable diluent (thinner) for oil colours and the cleaning of brushes. Whilst it has a characteristic odour, this is less pronounced than turpentine.

Winsor & Newton Artists Picture Cleaner is a liquid which dissolves linseed oil oxidation and cleans soiled oil paintings. Emulsified mixture of Copaiba balsam, dipentene, and pine oil with ammonia. The liquid settles out in two layers. Shake well before use. Thinning is not recommended.

Winsor & Newton Sansodor is a low odour diluent (thinner) alternative to Artists White Spirit. Sansodor is slow to evaporate and therefore useful in controlling Griffin Alkyd and oil colours.
