REFINED LINSEED OIL BY MICHAEL HARDING

Refined linseed oil ideal for thinning and levelling oil paint brushstrokes, slowing down the drying process, with a viscosity similar to that of honey and to be used sparingly.

Adding linseed oil to your oil paints will increase the flow of the paint and the ease of application, making the colours brighter.

Excessive use will result in a yellowish colour in lighter shades due to the natural colour of the oil.

It is normal for linseed oil to become cloudy or thickened due to low temperatures. We recommend that during the colder months of the year you warm the linseed oil slightly before use by placing it in a container of warm water, this does not affect the quality of the product, however, it may make application more difficult.
