Winsor & Newton Refined Linseed Oil is a studio classic for artists who want smoother, richer paint handling without altering the integrity of their colors. This low-viscosity, alkali-refined oil has a naturally pale color, making it a great choice when you want clarity and luminosity in your mixes. When added to oil paint, Refined Linseed Oil reduces thickness, increases flow, and boosts gloss and transparency, perfect for glazing, blending, or building up luminous layers. Because it’s a slower-drying variant of traditional linseed oils, it’s especially helpful when balancing drying times between fast-drying and slow-drying pigments. This medium also “fattens” your paint, helping you build flexible layers that follow the classic fat-over-lean rule, preventing cracking as your painting ages. Whether you’re refining subtle transitions or enhancing the depth and richness of your colors, this is one of those foundational mediums every oil painter keeps within arm’s reach.

• Enhances flow and workability: Thins oil paint to create smoother, more fluid application without over-thinning the pigment.
• Boosts gloss and transparency: Ideal for glazing, soft blending, and building luminous layers with increased clarity.
• Balances drying times: Slower-drying formula helps even out fast-drying colors for more consistent layer development.
• Supports fat-over-lean technique: Adds “fat” to your mixes to improve flexibility and reduce future cracking.
• Pale, low-viscosity formulation: Maintains color brilliance and avoids yellowing associated with heavier oils.
