Used by artists from the Renaissance, walnut oil offers greater freedom of application.  Our walnut oil is designed to augment the special nature of our oil color but it is completely compatible with other artists oil colors and mediums.  The addition of walnut oil to color will slow drying, enhance flow, and increase sheen.

Walnut oil has a unique refractive index.  Colors ground in this fine oil are more jewel-like and bright.  Using walnut oil allows us to increase the amount of pigment of each color resulting in paints with the highest possible mass tone and tint strength and thus creating paintings saturated with extraordinary color.

Walnut oil does not yellow as much as other oils.  This is especially important in whites, blues, and yellows.  The slower drying nature of walnut oil allows for a longer open time.

Be solvent free by using walnut oil to clean your brushes.  Walnut oil is a natural oil that does not evaporate or remove essential oils from the artist brushes.
