The Essential Medium for Professional Oil Painting
Refined linseed oil is the foundation of traditional oil painting techniques. This classic medium transforms how paint behaves—making it smoother, glossier, and more transparent—while building durability into every brushstroke. Perfect for glazing, blending, and achieving the professional finishes that serious artists demand.

How to Use
- Palette Mixing: Mix 1 part oil to 3 parts paint on your palette using a palette knife or brush. Start with just a few drops and adjust to your desired consistency. Too much oil makes paint sticky or overly watery.
- Fat Over Lean Rule: Build layers progressively—use very little oil in early layers (lean), then gradually increase oil content (fat) in each subsequent layer. This prevents cracking as the painting dries.
- Dipping Method: Lightly dip your brush into the oil before picking up paint. This improves flow for fine details and delicate brushwork without adding excess medium.
- Glazing Technique: Mix oil with paint to create semi-transparent layers. Apply thin coats over dried layers to build color intensity, depth, and luminosity.

Linseed oil is a traditional medium that increases gloss, transparency, and drying time while improving paint flow. Other mediums like stand oil are thicker or have different drying properties. Linseed oil is ideal for glazing, blending, and achieving classic oil painting finishes.
Start with a 1:3 ratio—1 part oil to 3 parts paint. Begin with just a few drops on your palette and mix thoroughly. Too much oil makes paint runny or sticky. It's better to add gradually than to use too much at once.
No. Linseed oil is incompatible with water-based paints. It will not mix with acrylics or watercolors and may ruin your work. Use only with oil paints.
This technique prevents cracking as your painting dries. Early layers with little oil (lean) dry faster, while later layers with more oil (fat) dry slower and last longer. This prevents the outer paint from drying before the underlying layers, which causes cracks.
