Sun Thickened Linseed Oil
My Cold Pressed Sun Dried Oil is unrefined Linseed/Flax oil. It is organically cleansed without caustic chemicals. It is then slowly sun thickened until just the right time for a very pale, fast drying oil of superior quality. This oil dries within thirty hours - allowing elimination of any driers.

  I adhere to strict procedures provided by Louis Velasquez to achieve this unsurpassed oil. I use and stand by this sun oil.
Calcite Sun Oil Method  
Questions welcome

Please Note: that I am a professional artist and not a store. I make all of my materials for personal use. It is the reason of unavailability of this superior oil that I offer it for sale.
Thank you

 

About the oil

The Organically cleansed , Cold Pressed, UNREFINED linseed/Flax oil has remarkable properties superior to modern Industrially produced Alkali REFINED linseed oil. The UNREFINED oil, once organically cleansed and sun thickened, is equivalent to that used by the Old Masters.

This oil is used as an ingredient for painting mediums - it is not used as a paint thinner or used PURE to mix with your paint, nor to paint with alone or the paint will sag, flow excessively and all details will be lost. This oil can be used in two ways for the Calcite Sun Oil Method

(1) Use it to make ‘ Calcite Sun Oil’, in a mixture of 1 part oil and 3 parts of Calcium Carbonate powder. Do not alter the formula.

(2) Use it to make the ‘ Viscous Emulsion” in a ratio of 3 parts oil to 2 parts of Glair.

Other Old Master Formulas: Of coarse this sun oil can be used in other mediums requiring it as an ingredient like balsam, sun oil and turpentine.
