For artists wishing to create oil paints from natural pigments, Natural Earth Paint™ Walnut Oil is organic and refined, and free from toxins or preservatives. 

Why choose Natural Earth Paint™ Walnut Oil? 

• Paint binder - Walnut oil is the perfect natural oil to mix with natural pigments. 
• Thinner - Unlike linseed oil, it doesn't yellow over time and is ideal for adding fluidity to paint and for thinning. 
• Non-toxic brush cleaner - Use it to clean brushes without the need for toxic solvents. 
• Archival - Paints made with walnut oil maintain their vibrancy and colour and last for hundreds of years on all surfaces, including canvas and wood. 
• Historically accurate - It's been used in oil paints for centuries by the Old Masters such as Rembrandt. 

How to use with mineral pigments to make natural oil paints:

• Add a few drops of Walnut Oil to Natural Earth Paint™ Mineral Pigments and mix using a palette knife to form a fine paste.
• Use a glass muller to swirl over your paste to ensure every particle is covered with oil.
• Store in an aluminium tube.
• Refined walnut oil has a long shelf life, and paints made with walnut oil are touch dry in 4-8 days, depending on the pigments used and humidity.
