Details

This versatile set of professional-grade drying oils blends tradition with innovation. It will allow artists to choose the right oil for their needs. A refined linseed oil set offering the clearest and lightest linseed oils in their class. This set is ideal for artists looking to maintain the purity of their colors while still achieving smooth, buttery brushstrokes. The Linseed Alchemy set includes the following linseed oils:

Cold-pressed linseed Oil is produced from the first pressing of flax seeds without using heat or chemicals. It can be used to grind colors, but washing and bleaching before use is sometimes best. It is sometimes recommended when grinding dry pigment to make oil paint because of its higher acidity than alkali-refined linseed oil. It is used as a medium with oil colors for thinning, lower gloss and transparency, and pronouncing brush marks.

Refined Aged Linseed Oil is a low-acid value drying oil pressed from North American flax seeds. It is an alkali refined oil with low acidity and a light color. Refined Aged Linseed Oil is as light and pure as industrially produced linseed oil can be. Use it to grind colors, thin oil colors, or prepare oleoresinous varnishes.

Pale Grinders Oil is refined, bleached, and dewaxed linseed oil and linseed oil fatty acids. It is exceptionally light in color and well-suited for grinding colors. Its high acidity gives it excellent pigment-wetting properties for making your own oil paint with dry pigments. High-acid value oils make it easier to wet pigments that are difficult to grind, such as lakes and lamp black, and are especially valuable for grinding reactive pigments, such as lead white.

Pale Drying Oil is yellow to dark amber in color and perfect for making oil paints dry faster. It is derived from processed linseed oil from selected flax seeds. The oil is heated in closed kettles with the scientific addition of driers. It meets ASTM D 260, Type 1, and Federal Specification TT-L-190 standards. Add small amounts to your oil paint to promote faster drying.
