Safflower oil is a pale, slow-drying oil which can be used to brighten and thin oil paints. As it is a paler yellow than linseed oil, paler pigments (whites and pale blues especially) maintain their brightness when mixed with safflower oil.Paints thinned with this product should not be used under faster drying layers, e.g. Fast Drying Medium, earth colours etc.
Alkali refined linseed oil is a pale oil extracted from the seeds of the flax plant. It is used in many of Michael Harding's paints because it produces the strongest paint film during the drying process and ensures the longevity of each painting.When mixed with oil paint, linseed oil will increase the gloss and transparency of the paint, and will thin the paint so that it flows more easily and does not hold brushmarks. It will also slow the drying time of the paint. Linseed oil is also highly suitable for use with dry ground pigments.Please note soft materials which have absorbed linseed oil should be stored in sealed containers, as the oil will oxidise when exposed to the air. This chemical reaction releases so much heat that the rags may spontaneously combust. Make sure the lid of the container is closed securely and store in a cool place. Brushes and tools used with linseed oil should be cleaned with white spirit.We cannot transport this product by air; some European destinations are available by road, but this will incur an additional delivery charge.

Michael Harding Refined Walnut Oil dries at the same rate as linseed oil, but it does not yellow as much. Michael Harding use it as the binder for their lead whites where the brightness of the colour demands the clearest possible oil binder, without compromise on production costs. Use it to thin whites and to bring out the brightness in other colours.The use of walnut oil in paint can be traced back even further than that of linseed. When 15th century artists began to add oil to their tempera colours it was walnut oil that seemed the obvious choice. Jan van Eyck in Flanders and Antonello da Messina in Italy both knew of its handling properties.
