Enviromentally Friendly A Non Toxic Approach to Oil Painting Walnut Oil Preferred by artists for over five 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. Non Toxic Brush Clean Up
With the exception of its biodegradable properties, This standard, paper-faced memory foamboard has a biodegradeable rigid foam center and SFI certified paper liners. This rigid foamboard breaks down in landfills or composting environments in 1 to 5 years. Formulated with not less than 15% recycled content. Biodegradeable foamboard will not breakdown until the board is discarded. It is covered with smooth, bright white paper liners formulated from wood products certified by the Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI), the largest forestry products certification program in North America. The biodegradation properties of material samples used in the manufacture of biodegradeable foamboard were tested by an independent laboratory using standard ASTM methods, as well as other established tests.

Nearly a hundred years have passed since it was decided that our timberlands could no longer be freely exploited. Instead, sustainable forestry would provide the basis for future operations. Replanting, good forest management and long-term planning have subsequently led to a very large increase in timber supplies. This made possible a steady expansion of logging operations. Today's timber stock is 50% larger than it was when detailed measurements began in the 1920s. Since the 1992 Earth Summit meeting in Rio, our concept of sustainability has broadened. This is reflected in our revised forestry policy that went into effect in 1994. Today sustainable forestry must not only ensure a reliable yield of timber and the multiple use of forests, but also preserve biological diversity. The forest is a resource which should be managed so that it provides a good return on a sustainable basis and ensures the preservation of biodiversity. Taskboard is an unbleached wood product made of sustainable forestry wood. for more information regarding Taskboard's ecofriendliness email ilan@taskboard.com
