REFINED SAFFLOWER OIL BY MICHAEL HARDING

A refined, slow drying safflower oil that can be used to lighten and thin oil paints. It has similar properties to poppyseed oil, a pale hue and a clean, glossy finish that does not yellow lighter colours.

Being a paler yellow than traditional linseed oil, lighter pigments such as whites and pale blues retain their brightness when mixed with safflower oil.

Paints thinned with this product should not be used under faster drying coatings, such as fast drying mediums, for example.

Suitable for painting on flexible supports such as stretched canvas.

It can also be used as a glazing oil to give the final finish to your artwork.
