{"product_id":"holbein-linseed-oil","title":"Linseed Oil","description":"\u003cp\u003eLinseed oil transforms stiff tube consistency into workable paint while maintaining structural integrity. Holbein purifies this flax seed extract to remove impurities that cause yellowing and slow drying, delivering a medium that enhances flow without compromising your paint's body. The oil increases transparency in darker colors and adds subtle depth to glazing layers, building luminosity through successive applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis refined formulation dries to a durable film with natural luster, the characteristic sheen that distinguishes oil painting from other media. Thin colors moderately for smoother blending and extended working time, or add generously to create transparent glazes that glow with inner light. The oil integrates seamlessly with Holbein colors but works equally well across any professional oil paint line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurification matters for archival work. Crude linseed oil contains mucilage and proteins that attract moisture and promote degradation over decades. Holbein's refinement process eliminates these elements while preserving the oil's essential drying properties and flexibility. Your paint film remains stable, resisting the brittleness and cracking that plague paintings made with inferior mediums. A foundational medium for artists who build technique on reliable materials.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holbein","offers":[{"title":"55 ml","offer_id":47979324834021,"sku":"96943","price":10.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 ml","offer_id":47979324866789,"sku":"96944","price":29.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s96943.jpg?v=1770297997","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.com\/products\/holbein-linseed-oil","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
