Refined Poppy Seed Oil

Ⓥ VEGAN

Poppyseed oil is often incorporated with whites and light blues because of its non-yellowing nature. It’s a slower drying oil with a paint film not quite as strong as linseed and safflower oils. Originating in the low countries of Europe, poppy seed oil has been an artist’s staple since the 15th-century.

Refined Poppy Seed Oil tempers the consistency of oil paints while increasing their gloss and transparency.

This oil will dry more slowly than linseed, but it is paler and less inclined to yellow.

Refined Poppy Seed Oil is ideal for working wet-on-wet.

Because of its slow drying properties, it is not advisable to use this oil when underpainting.
