Winsor & Newton Linseed Oil Additive Medium 75ml

• Water-mixing linseed oil is an amber-coloured oil that has been modified so that it can be mixed with water. It is used in combination with water-mixing oil paints and serves several purposes.

   

• Firstly, this oil reduces the viscosity of water-mixable oil paints, making them easier to apply and work with. It also slows down the drying time of the paints, allowing for a longer working time and the opportunity to make adjustments and blend colours for longer.

   

• When this oil is mixed with water-mixable oil paints, the result is a ‘richer’ and creamier mixture, which can improve the texture and flow of the paint.

   

• Furthermore, this oil can be added to quick-drying mediums to balance drying times. This is useful if you wish to control the drying time of your water-mixable oil paints and ensure they dry more evenly.

   

• Like other water-mixable products, this oil can be cleaned off with soap and water, avoiding the need for harsh solvents. This makes it easier to clean your tools and brushes, as well as to remove paint from your hands or surfaces.

   

• In summary, water-mixable linseed oil is used in combination with water-mixable oil paints to thin their consistency, slow down drying times and achieve a creamier consistency. It can also be used to balance drying times when added to quick-drying mediums. It is easy to clean off with soap and water, making it a convenient and safe option for artists.
