Painters Tip
Oils for Mediums
Linseed Oil- Most commonly used oil, processed from flax seed.
Raw Linseed Oil- Used mostly for industrial paints.
Refined Linseed- Hot pressed oil mixed with sulfuric acid and water. Used since the 18th Century by artists. A standard binder in most tube manufactured paints.
Cold Pressed Linseed- A very fine traditional oil. Used in high quality paints. Excellent handling and dries a bit faster than refined oil. Excellent stable paint film.
Stand Oil- Very thick, made with linseed oil that is polymarized through sustained heating.
Sun Bleached Linseed Oil- Often used as a glazing oil because of it's pale color and rapid drying time.
Safflower Oil- Has a buttery texture but is fairly new and untested over time.
Walnut Oil- Dries faster than Linseed oil.
Poppy Seed Oil- Pale, thin and odorless and a buttery texture. There have been warnings about this oil because experts fear cracking with age.
