Winsor & Newton Thick Linseed Oil Additive Medium 250ml

• Stand Water-Mixable Linseed Oil is a clear, viscous oil that slows down the drying time of oil paint and has been modified so that it can be mixed with water. It has several beneficial properties and is used as an alternative to refined linseed oil.

• This oil provides a durable, smooth, enamel-like finish, free from brush marks and with excellent levelling properties. When used, it produces a smoother, more uniform finish in oil paintings. It also helps the paint adhere better to the surface and minimises the appearance of brush marks.

• Stand linseed oil can also be used for glazing, a technique in which layers of transparent paint are applied to create subtle effects of colour and depth in the artwork.

• Mixing this oil with oil paints produces a ‘richer’ mixture, which enhances the paint’s body and richness. This can improve the texture and flow of the oil paint.

• Like other water-mixable products, this oil can be easily cleaned with soap and water, avoiding the need for strong solvents. This makes cleaning your tools and brushes more convenient and safer.
