Natural Pigments Sun-Thickened Walnut Oil (8 fl oz)

Sun-Thickened Walnut Oil is made by exposing lightly, refined walnut oil to the sun for 90 days, thickening in the process. Yellows less than linseed oil, so it is good for making pale oil colors and to make oil paint more fluid with flow out and leveling.

Use to make oil colors and thin oil colors. This oil is excellent for making and thinning whites and pale colors.

Some woodworkers prefer walnut oil as a finish for implements that come in contact with food, such as cutting boards and wooden bowls because of its safety. People who formulate wood finish value walnut oil as an ingredient because of the edibility of both ingredients. The oil typically is combined with beeswax in a mixture of 1:2 oil to beeswax.

Use turpentine, spike oil, or mineral spirits as the solvent for oil painting mediums and for brush and studio clean-up.
