Linseed Oil

• O502 – 55ml
• O402 – 200ml
• O302 – 500ml

Extracted from the flax plant, it is used to thin oil colors and provides a natural luster to the artwork. As a vegetable oil, it leaves a slight film when dry, which can sometimes cause yellowing over time.

Poppy Oil

• O513 – 55ml
• O413 – 200ml
• O313 – 500ml

Extracted from poppy seeds, it is used to thin oil color and provide a natural luster to the artwork. Poppy Oil leaves no residue behind and will not cause yellowing.

LESOLVENT

• O504 – 55ml
• O404 – 200ml
• O304 – 500ml

Lesolvent is an ideal mixture of Spirit of Turpentine, Poppy Oil, Siccatif, and resin. Properly mixed for read-to-use purposes, thus saving time and labor necessary for mixing various oils. The use of this medium will speed the drying time and add vivid luster and smoothness to your painting application.

Painting Oil

• O505 – 55ml
• O405 – 200ml
• O305 – 500ml

The ingredients in Painting Oil are the same as Lesolvent, except Linseed Oil is substituted for Poppy Oil.

Painting Varnish

• O514 – 55ml
• O414 – 200ml
• O314 – 500ml

A type of luster oil. When applied with Poppy or Linseed Oil, this varnish gives the picture extreme brilliance. This varnish yields faster drying time and higher gloss—an ideal varnish for the painter.

Picture Varnish

• O510 – 55ml
• O410 – 200ml
• O310 – 500ml

For application to the painting, about six months after completion. Brush this oil very thinly and lightly on the work after it has completely dried to reproduce a natural luster on the picture. This oil protects the surface.

Retouch Varnish

• O523 – 55ml
• O423 – 200ml
• O323 – 500ml

A type of glossing oil. Used to retouch the picture after completion and to produce the same gloss as in the original. It’s not as thick as Picture Varnish but produces an excellent gloss.

Sun Thickened Poppy Oil

• O517 – 55ml

A glossing oil made from condensed poppy oil. Try mixing oil colors with this oil alone, without the use of other mediums, and the result will be a painting of such high gloss as to appear similar to an enamel. The use of this oil is a personal choice, and many artists enjoy its application properties.

Sun Thickened Linseed Oil

• O518 – 55ml

Still made by the orthodox method of prolonged exposure to the sun. Its increased viscosity improves drying, leveling, and protective characteristics. Used for oil mediums, varnishes, and glazes, it may be diluted with turpentine or spirits of petroleum.

White Mat Varnish

• O519 – 55ml

Used for matting a picture already painted. This allows you to view the painting from many different angles much like a watercolor painting since they don’t reflect light. Many paintings can be enhanced by matting back to a dull service.

Japan Gold Size

• O521 – 55ml

Made from copal resin dissolved in turpentine and vegetable processed oils. Japan Gold Size may be used for tempera painting or as an oil painting medium, but is primarily used for gilding (gold leafing). Dilute with turpentine and apply it to a non-absorptive surface, the medium must dry to an almost dry stage of tackiness before applying the leaf which should be pressed on with a clean piece of cotton. Do not rub. Drying may be retarded by mixing with oil color.

Stand Linseed Oil

• O522 – 55ml

A heavy, viscous oil for blending with oil color to produce surface transparency and brightness and a smoothness which enhances the leveling of the brush stroke. With a greatly reduced tendency to yellow with age, its mixed viscosity may be softened with turpentine or spirits of petroleum.

Spike Lavender Oil

• O527 – 55ml

Distilled from a variety of the lavender plant family, this fragrant oil has properties similar to turpentine but has greater tendency to oxidize or gum and does not evaporate as readily.

Venetian Turpentine

• O528 – 55ml

A heavy, thick liquid made from European Pine Trees used in oil mediums. It offers transparency and glossy surface. Due to yellowing with time, it should be used or thinned with dry oils (stand oil) or volatile oils (turpentine).

Quick Drying Medium

• O529 – 55ml
• O429 – 200ml

Safflower Oil (High Linolenic)

• O561 – 55ml
