Introducing Sun-Thickened Linseed Oil for Artistic Creations
Are you looking for high-quality art painting supplies to enhance your artistic creations? Look no further than Sun-Thickened Linseed Oil from Rublev Colours. This natural and non-toxic medium is derived from the dried ripe seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum, Linaceae) and is perfect for use with pale colors and white.
The Process of Creating Sun-Thickened Linseed Oil
Rublev Colours Sun-Thickened Linseed Oil is made by exposing raw, cold-pressed linseed oil to sunlight in shallow tanks covered with clear glass and exposed to the atmosphere for one year. This process lightens the oil considerably but only slightly thickens it. To give the oil more body (higher viscosity), we blow air through the oil for at least one year.
