Quick Overview

Winsor & Newton's Drying Oils are used to modify the consistency, transparency, and drying time of oil paints in much the same way as prepared mediums. Available in 75 ml., 250 ml., and 500 ml bottles.

Winsor & Newton's Drying Oils are used to modify the consistency and drying time of oil paints in much the same way as prepared mediums.

Winsor & Newton uses 100% recycled plastic in their ergonomically designed bottles. Due to using recycled plastic, the material will sometimes have a tint to it, either slightly green or slightly yellow. Rest assured, the medium inside will be the normal color.

Cold Pressed Linseed Oil - A slightly yellow oil, Cold Pressed Linseed Oil is extracted without the use of heat, making oil color "fatter." This linseed oil dries slightly quicker than refined linseed oil while decreasing the consistency of oils. Ideal for grinding pigments, Cold Pressed Linseed Oil reduces viscosity and brushstrokes while adding transparency and gloss. Mix just enough medium with paint to get smooth textures. To keep light colors clean, use linseed oil sparingly - for whites in particular, Winsor & Newton recommends using Safflower Oil. Wipe the neck of the bottle after use, to ensure the safety cap remains secure.

Drying Linseed Oil - Winsor & Newton Drying Linseed Oil is the fastest-drying linseed oil and increases gloss and transparency while reducing consistency. When added to oils, it will accelerate drying times. Mix just enough medium with paint to get smooth texture. Wipe the neck of the bottle after use, to ensure the safety cap remains secure.

Linseed Stand Oil - Winsor & Newton Stand Linseed Oil is ideal for glazing, adding transparency and high gloss, and can be used as an alternative for Refined Linseed Oil, due to its pale yellow color and excellent leveling. Linseed Stand Oil makes oil colors "fatter" and provides a very flexible film. Linseed Stand Oil slows drying while leaving a smooth, tough enamel finish with no brush marks and has a low tendency to yellow. Mix just enough medium with paint to get smooth texture and glazing when used as a solvent. After use, wipe the neck of the bottle to ensure the safety cap remains secure.

Refined Linseed Oil - Refined Linseed Oil is a low viscosity alkali refined oil of pale color that dries slowly. This linseed oil reduces the consistency of the paint and can be added to fast-drying oils to balance drying times. Refined Linseed Oil has a low tendency to yellow. Mix just enough medium with paint to achieve smooth textures. To keep light colors clean, use linseed oil sparingly - for whites in particular, Winsor & Newton recommends using Safflower Oil. Wipe the neck of the bottle after use, to ensure the safety cap remains secure.

Thickened Linseed Oil - This amber-colored, partially oxidized oil makes colors "fatter," deepens colors, adds transparency and gloss, and thickens paint texture. Thickened Oil speeds the drying process and can be used in combination with Sansodor to accelerate drying rates further. Mix just enough medium with paint to achieve the desired viscosity. Wipe the neck of the bottle after use, to ensure the safety cap remains secure.
