Oils and Turpentine

Refined Poppyseed Oil

Ⓥ VEGAN

Poppyseed oil is used particularly incorporated with whites and light blues for its non-yellowing nature as a medium.  It is a slower drying oil with a paint film not quite as strong as Linseed and Safflower oils. It was used from the 15th Century onwards and originated in the low countries of Europe.

Available in 3 sizes: 100ml, 250ml and 1 litre.

Refined Walnut Oil

Ⓥ VEGAN

A lovely oil that is used in my Cremnitz White No. 307. The film cures clean and bright.

Available in 3 sizes: 100ml, 250ml and 1 litre.

Refined Safflower Oil

Ⓥ VEGAN

Bright, clean, one of the highest in colour for oil, a favourite for my Titanium White no. 1. Note, safflower oil is a slow drying oil.

Available in 3 sizes: 100ml, 250ml and 1 litre.

Refined Linseed Stand Oil

Ⓥ VEGAN

You can add linseed oil to your oil paints to increase flow however an excess will lead to some apparent yellowing due to the natural colour of the oil. Applying the paint layers thinly is then seen as desirable to avoid other defects of excess such as wrinkling.

Available in 3 sizes: 100ml, 250ml and 1 litre.

Refined Pale Linseed Oil

Ⓥ VEGAN

Our very own linseed oil! We use linseed oil because it produces the strongest of paint films thus helping to ensure the longevity of your oil painting.

Available in 3 sizes: 100ml, 250ml and 1 litre.
