Technical Data

Hemp Seed Stand Oil Medium (aged 5 years) - 4 oz.
Traditional Stand Oil is mixed with the Liquid Gold Hemp Seed Oil to make an extremely versatile painting and glazing medium.
Unlike modern commercial slow-drying ‘stand oils’ which become thick due to boiling in absence of oxygen, our traditional stand oil is hand-refined and left to “stand” for 5 years, acquiring an extremely heavy viscosity, with the added attribute of being a rapid drying oil.
A very rare painting medium, it is available in extremely limited quantities, as the true stand oil process can not be rushed.


Sun Thickened Linseed Oil • 4oz.
Perfect as a basis for glazing mediums, this thickened, pre-polymerized oil imparts gloss, luminosity, high film strength and rapid-drying properties, reducing the need for added resins in 3-part mediums.
Can be added directly to oil paints in small quantities, or used in combination with Eco-solve to create a spectrum of lean to fat mixtures for extended, layered techniques.
Sun Thickened Linseed Oil can also be used alone or in 3 part mixtures as the oil component in egg tempera emulsions, bringing its inherent binding strength into delicate, translucent alternating layers of oil & water-phase tempera. Facilitates seamless transitions and luminous veils in semi-transparent painting, while deepening and enhancing colors.

Once an order is shipped, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information; please save this email in case of any issues with your order.

After a package leaves our facility, it becomes the responsibility of the contracted carrier to get it to you. Any issues or problems that arise must be resolved with them directly.

PRODUCT FAQs

Will my paint yellow over time?

Yes, there may be a slight yellowing over time. Whites are more prone to yellowing since the oil is what yellows, not the pigment.

A common cause of yellowing is called "dark yellowing" and happens when pieces are stored in the dark for too long. The good news, though, is that placing the art piece back in direct sunlight will reverse the yellowing. This reversal takes anywhere from 1-7 days.
