Daler-Rowney Georgian purified linseed oil 75 ml

Daler-Rowney Georgian purified linseed oil reduces oil-paint consistency and slows drying. Use it to adjust flow and give yourself more time to work on transitions. Without thinner, the oil provides a rich, high-gloss finish and greater colour depth. You receive one 75 ml bottle; paint and tools are sold separately.

Choose oil or a thinned medium

Gradually mix linseed oil into a separate portion of oil paint until you reach the consistency you need. Start with a little and compare a trial brushstroke with unmixed paint on the same surface, including after drying. For a thinned painting medium, mix 1 part linseed oil with 1 part turpentine or low-odour oil-paint thinner. This is the ratio for the medium, not for oil and paint. Then add that medium to your paint as needed. Thinner is sold separately and its safety instructions still apply.

When should you choose this medium?

Choose purified linseed oil for smoother paint, more gloss and a longer drying time. It is not a drying accelerator or the specially formulated linseed oil for water-mixable oil paint. Do not add water. The final drying time depends on factors including paint and layer thickness; assess your trial before continuing the painting.

Safe use

Avoid unnecessary skin contact, wear suitable protective gloves and wash your hands after use. Store the original bottle tightly closed and upright, cool and dry. Keep out of reach of children and do not pour residues down drains. Linseed-oil rags can self-heat and ignite. Never pile them up; spread them out to dry away from combustible materials.
