M GRAHAM Walnut Oil Paint
Using Walnut Oil, instead of tradition
linseed oil.
Artists have been using walnut oil since the 5th century and found it
to be superior to linseed oil because it yellows and cracks less while
being easier to manipulate.
Preferred by artists for over 15 centuries, free flowing Walnut
Oil gives the artist greater freedom and control over their color
without the addition of solvents. Revival of this fine oil has allowed
the creation of a contemporary professional oil color with extremely
high concentrations of pigment, freedom from discoloration and superior
handling properties.

Walnut oil is a pale yellow-brown oil (when newly made it's
a pale oil with a greenish tinge) that has a distinctive smell. As it's a thin
oil, it's used to make oil paint more fluid. As it yellows less than linseed
oil (but more than safflower oil) it's good for pale colors. Walnut oil dries
in four or five days. It's an expensive oil and must be stored correctly otherwise
it goes rancid (off). Walnuts naturally contain about 65 per cent oil.
Walnut Alkyd Medium
Walnut/Alkyd Medium was developed to provide artist's with a non-toxic, environmentally
responsible alternative to solvent based, rapid drying alkyd mediums. This is
a medium that closely resembles the wonderful combinations of sun-thickened
oil and natural resins used so effectively throughout the history of art but
with the singular advantage of being free from solvents.
