How to Use

• Palette Mixing: Add just 1–2 drops of oil to your paint on the palette. A typical ratio is 1 part oil to 3 parts paint. Mix thoroughly. Start sparingly and adjust as needed.
• Brush Dipping Method: Dip your brush lightly into the oil, then pick up paint. Apply directly to the canvas for improved flow and smoother brushstrokes without mixing on the palette.
• Create Custom Mediums: Thin this oil with turpentine or odourless mineral spirits to create faster-drying mediums tailored to your working style and drying preferences.
• Fat Over Lean Technique: Use minimal oil in your initial layers (lean), then gradually increase oil content in subsequent layers (fat). This ensures proper drying from bottom to top and prevents surface cracking.
