home products & costs linseed oil varnish colours environment friendly? how to use linseed oil paint how bad are solvents? f.a.q. s our painting & shellac refinishing services email us links black rust burnt sienna ox blood prussian purple battleship blue raw sienna yellow ochre grey umber green bald facts about natural oil paint traditional oil paint was made primarily of linseed oil (squeezed from the seeds of flax from which we get linen) with a bit of tree resin thrown in and boiled. this effectively made an oil varnish. when pigment was added it became paint. today there is a small-scale swedish business (allbck) that sells a simpler version of that paint, just pure linseed oil, all over the world. and there is me, who makes traditional oil paint on weekends and during holidays in my wife's aga and sells it all over the uk. our two paints are similar in as much as they are made of natural plant products and the paint coating you apply with them should last a long time. because recoating isn't necessary for a few extra years means these paints should repay, in pure financial terms, the extra cost and effort of using them. they are both difficult to use, for both are slow drying. the swedish paint is slower drying; mine dries much faster but the danger of wrinkling is thereby increased. i offer just about any colour there is; the swedes offer a dozen colours. the swedish paint dries matt; mine dries glossy but sadly it isn't perfectly smooth like glass, it will produce a surface with tiny little bumps, unless you are extremely professional at painting. the swedish paint is prone to develop mildew; mine is completely fungus free (there is a whole section on this at the bottom of the page). using these paints is good for the environment and should give you something to talk (gloat) about with your friends. that's the short version. for those with strong constitutions, read on . . . . everyone else should jump down to how to use or our colours. a short history of oil paints the "oil" paintings we see hanging in galleries were not produced with primitive linseed oil paint. expensive, quality paint in the renaissance did contain linseed oil in abundance but it was treated (to create, for instance, "stand oil") and tree resins were being added. the tree resins came primarily from european pines and larch and made the paint harder and quicker drying. by the 19th century, the resins used had been extended to "mined" sources of ancient and even fossilised resin (amber) and from trees all over the globe. resin from kauri pine in new zealand was as far from britain as it gets. the proportion of oil to resin generally distinguished paint as "long oil" or "short oil". the latter, with higher proportions of resin, were more expensive, harder wearing and used on interiors. the former, with more oil, were cheaper, more flexible and used outdoors. up until the second world war, glossy oil paint remained much as it had been for centuries. by then, however, it had been found that metal soaps acted as catalysts in the drying process. and lead, which was first added as a white pigment, proved to have all manner of beneficial side effects, making paint tougher and repelling mould growth. and it lasted a long, long time. in short, traditional oil paint was good. but industry wished to make it better. and chemists managed this by modifying the resins used in oil paint. linseed oil became even more important as chemistry created alkyd resin from oils. the paint dried harder and faster and thicker, which produced a more perfectly flat surface. in short, it was a much better paint. more so for the industry, perhaps, than the consumer. excellent to use, but it had to be bought more often, for the paint didn't have the same life expectancy. in time, chemistry modified all manner of oils from which fatty acids are extracted (tree resin was now redundant) and linseed oil gave way to oil from sunflower, safflower, soya and even fish. the linking thread here is the food industry. the decline in the comparative cost of food for half a century after the last world war meant that the comparative cost of oil paint also went down. this alkyd resin paint, which i grew up in massachusetts simply calling "oil paint", you may know as "gloss" paint. and for good reason: oil-based paint does indeed produce the glossiest finish available. but a semi-sheen (satin or eggshell to most consumers) has reigned supreme for decades now. and satin is the hallmark finish of the plastic paints which sounded the death knell for oil paints. latex paint, although familiar in the usa, never really found a place in the uk where acrylic paint now dominates as it does in most of the world. i first tried it in 1989. it was awful. so why did its popularity grow? from the consumers' perspective, acrylic paint is convenient. it dries very quickly, brushes and spills are cleaned with water, and it doesn't smell. the only drawbacks when first developed were that it gave a far inferior finish and peeled off easily. today it doesn't peel off and the finish is slightly better than it used to be, although far inferior to oil paint. however, it does rival and probably surpass alkyd resin in longevity outdoors. but, as a petrochemical product (acrylic is a plastic), it is possible that its rise is due to industrial preferences rather than those of consumers. although new production processes can make alkyd resin into an emulsion, suspended in water, commercially the oils are heading for extinction. why should you use natural plant oil paint? first and foremost, because it is good for the planet. it is made from natural materials. far less energy is expended to produce it than conventional paints and it is made without fossil fuels. linseed oil paints scarcely contribute to global warming compared to conventional paints. and here is an interesting fact. britain was once a large producer of linseed oil. today there is no industrial production. but britain does convert petroleum into plastic paint. you should use natural oil paint because it lasts longer than conventional exterior paints, easily lasting ten years (fifteen with some upkeep). while it is more expensive to buy, it works out cheaper in the long run, especially if scaffolding is required. alas, there are also reasons for not using these plant oil paints. they aren't as easy to use as conventional paints, especially with their slow drying. the surface coating they produce, while longer lasting, isn't as tough (the elasticity is part of the key to its longevity), so they scratch more easily. how do you use my traditional oil paint? assuming that you have supressed your doubts and decided to try my home-cooked paint, how do you go about using it? let's skip the preparation for now and give a condensed version of practical advice. in short, apply very thinly and go back over painted surfaces looking for dribbles and pooling of the paint and work them out. leave two days or more between coats. apply two coats, sometimes three depending on the colour and the original surface preparation. our paint is thinner than conventional paints and thus drips more. it has to be painted on very thinly or it wrinkles when dry, so being thin is not a bad thing, except you really have to watch for dribbles and pooling in corners. by painting it very thinly, the paint also dries in a day, which is a rare thing for linseed oil paint. but dry to the touch is not the same thing as dry through and through. so leaving days between coats is best. it needs more stirring than conventional paint because the pigments sink to the bottom. and when the first coat goes on, it doesn't look anything like as good as you probably hoped it would because the colour is not fully opaque and that is because the natural oils don't hold as much pigment as conventional paints. when stored, it will form a thin surface skin in the tin faster than you ever expected. with care, it can be removed without
