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.

Shipping & returns

Eco-Friendly Practices

We are a small, woman-owned and run business operating out of a solar-powered facility in Southern Oregon. We also double as a used packaging drop-off site for local residents and businesses. We use 100% post-consumer recycled packaging, home compostable paint pouches and recyclable glass and aluminum bottles for our products.

We give back by donating to "One Tree Planted" and "Rogue Climate" every month and continue to donate to various humanitarian and environment causes throughout the year.

Generally, all orders are shipped using zero-waste packaging and materials. Our shipping department uses paper stuffing and biodegradable paper tape, with the exception of shipping glass, as noted in the product descriptions for products made of glass.

Return Policies

We offer full refunds on any defective or damaged products. We also offer full refunds (less shipping costs) on elective returns if the product is in re-sellable condition and the return has been made within 3 months of the purchase.

Shipping Policies

Free Standard Shipping on orders above $100 for U.S. customers.

Orders containing in-stock items are typically processed within 2 business days from when we receive the order during operating hours. If a purchase contains out-of-stock or pre-order items, we will ship the order once ALL items are available and it can be fulfilled completely. 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. For USPS orders in particular, we've be instructed that it is best for the recipient to first speak with their local post office regarding any concerns.

Additionally, you can monitor your shipment or file a claim for lost mail with each of the carriers we use: U.S. Postal ServiceUPS, or FedEx.

We work hard to ensure orders are processed and received as quickly as possible, but unfortunately, we're unable to locate lost or delayed packages. We recognize errors happen and ask for your patience in those circumstances, but we will not ship replacement items or issue refunds until a formal determination is made by the carrier. Please use the resources outlined above to seek resolution if needed.

 

International Shipping

If you’re ordering from EuropeCanadaAustralia or New Zealand, please click the appropriate link to visit the distributor for your region. We normally ship USPS International for international orders, and the order typically takes 2-3 weeks for delivery. Due to global constraints, shipping times may vary, and additional delays can occur due to customs inspections. Since we never know if a package will be held at customs, any import fees or taxes applied to the delivery must be paid by the recipient.

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.
