Drying Oils and How to Use Them in Oil Painting

Drying oils are used to control the colour, prevent overthinning with solvent and maintain the flexibility of the paint film (fat over lean).
This video gives an explanation and demonstration of the seven different Winsor & Newton drying oils. Cold Pressed Linseed Oil, Bleached Linseed Oil, Thickened Linseed Oil, Drying Linseed Oil, Refined Linseed Oil, Linseed Stand Oil and Drying Poppy Oil.

1:50 WN Thickened Linseed Oil is similar to Stand OIl but dries quicker and darker
&
WN Artists Painting Medium VS Stand Oil (Which you can then compare to Extra Thickened Linseed Oil)
It thins oil paint to a wonderful smooth texture that just slides of the brush, and gives the paint a jewel-like luminescence. Fantastic for glazing. It's like you get the glowing effect of pure stand-oil, but without having to actually deal with that sticky, horrible substance. I used to mix stand oil with thinner, basically making this medium myself, but that's easier said than done and it's way nicer to just buy the perfectly mixed medium off the shelf. It slows the drying time somewhat, which is a plus for me. It creates a very glossy surface. Sometimes I'll rub a light layer over the whole painting to bring up dead spots and give an even sheen. It has a smoother feel than pure linseed oil. Highly recommended.

[@nicolasgasparotto5826]

So you recomend that already made oil painting medium by W&N? Your comment is kinda confusing haha

[@olijordan1224]

[@Chelseamark2013]

Good vid

[@jamiematthews9293]

Is there a heat set oil additive that i could add to my winton paints to be able to mix custom colors, and store them in in jars, preventing them from drying out? That can also be heat set for curing?

[@chessguru900]

what is this pv oil sucking tube is called? 2:42

[@BromleysArtSupplies]

He is just using a pipette to suck up the oil in the video. We sell them on our website here: www.artsupplies.co.uk/item-paint-pipettes-(pack-of-10).htm

[@chessguru900]

which one is the raw linseed oil then?

[@BromleysArtSupplies]

None of these are raw linseed oil.

[@bitTorrenter]

It will be the cold pressed one. "Boiled" Linseed Oil has chemical driers added.

[@Kayem967]

They tried this video with the new plastic bottles, but he couldn't get any off the caps off.

[@karenspooner1492]

Kenneth Murray haha you just put the bottle on a counter lean on it and twist it off , mine took bit of time to work out ..

[@Kayem967]

+Karen Spooner i use a visegrip, a very handy device. Sad that one has to resort to something that's used for reasonably heavy duty fixtures for opening a plastic bottle.

[@joybound3164]

I think I will go for an easier brand with a lid I can remove. looked at other comments without success

[@Kayem967]

Leaning on it doesn't always work, the mechanism very often is too unresponsive. Also, doesn't sound very safe putting so much weight on such small bottles.

[@julienporisse9902]

It’s okay, could be more informative as far as faster drying or longer drying times. The fact also that Linseed oil will yellow lighter colours (white, yellows, orange). Poppy oil dries quickly and does not yellow. Depending on the type of painting you do, linseed oil won’t suit impasto work for example, it will be useful for longer painting processes such as large figurative paintings or still lifes. If you are painting abstract you need to think thick or thinner paint, flow, dripping or not, applying paint by paintbrush or directly with a palette knife. Demonstration was adequate although too much oil in the paint. You should be thinking a few drops of oil in each blob of paint. A few hints on mixing mediums also. Time to …paint
