We carry a large line of artist mediums from Martin Weber at discount prices. All artists need these mediums. A medium is the liquid component of a paint in which the pigment is suspended, or a liquid with which paint may be diluted without interfering with the critical values such as binding or film forming properties.

The Martin Weber Mediums we sell are designed to work with artists paints. Always use the best mediums available in your art work. Poor quality mediums will eventually cause your paint to flake off your painting surfaces, or cause your paints to fade and discolor. For example, artist quality turpentine is not the same turpentine found in hardware stores. The mediums we sell are much more refined and are made for artists paints. These Martin Weber Mediums are the best quality. We very highly recommend these artist mediums.
