Daler Rowney Purified Linseed Oil, 300ml, Professional Oil Colour Medium, Enhances Flow & Gloss

Volume: 300ml. Refined linseed oil that improves paint consistency and luminosity. Slower drying to help with blending. Increases gloss for richer finishes. Non-yellowing formula to preserve colour integrity. Ideal for glazing and blending with oil colours.

Start with a small amount and mix it into your oil colours or onto your palette. For glazing or delicate blends, add a touch more to increase flow and stay-wet time. Always test first on a scrap area to reach your desired open time before applying to the main painting.

Purified linseed oil is refined to remove impurities, delivering more consistent flow, better control over drying times, and a reduced tendency to yellow. It offers a reliable, non-yellowing medium suitable for traditional oil techniques.

Yes. Linseed oil can be blended with other mediums to tailor drying time, gloss, and flow. Start with small additions, and test as different combinations can affect drying rates and texture. Use gradually to avoid over-thinning.

Work in a well-ventilated area, keep away from heat and flames due to flammability, and store upright with the cap tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and contact with skin for prolonged periods. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

You should see enhanced gloss and greater transparency, with smoother, more fluid brushwork. The finish tends to be more luminous, especially in glazes, while retaining colour depth without yellowing over time.

Yes, it will slow the drying slightly to aid blending and working time. Drying times depend on ambient conditions and paint layers, but you can expect a longer open time than with straight oil colours. Allow adequate curing between layers as needed.

A common approach is to start with a small amount, such as a few drops per brushful of paint, and adjust up to 5–15% by volume in your mix for glazing or open-time work. For minimal thinning, use just enough to reach the desired flow, then build up gradually.

It is designed to be broadly compatible with most traditional oil colours. Some pigments may react differently with mediums, so it’s wise to test on a small area when working with new colour families or sensitive mixes.
