Sun Thickened Hemp Seed Oil

Truly a delightful oil, our Hand-Refined Liquid Gold Hemp Seed Oil is exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time, resulting in a lightly thickened oil that is clear and bright. It is a relatively non-yellowing oil that dries rapidly. This oil is extremely versatile. It can be used in combination with a solvent to create a continuum of lean to fat layers for indirect work, or can be added directly to oil paint for alla prima approaches.
Sun Thickened Hemp Seed Oil is in a category of its own, exhibiting properties that are hard to find in any other medium. Fast-drying, imparting controlled flow, brilliant clarity and a satin finish, this is one of our favorite mediums to produce and to use.
Made in small batches, slowly thickened and pre-polymerized, there’s nothing quite like this oil.


Sun Thickened Linseed Oil

Our organic, hand-refined version of a classic painting medium used for centuries in traditional painting methods. Perfect as a basis for glazing mediums, this thickened, pre-polymerized oil imparts gloss, high film strength and rapid-drying properties, reducing the need for added resins in 3-part mediums.
Sun thickened linseed oil can be added directly to oil paints in small quantities, or used in combination with a solvent to create a spectrum of lean to fat mixtures for extended, layered techniques.
Sun Thickened Linseed Oil can also be used alone, in 2 or 3 part mixtures, and is also indispensable for oil/egg emulsions, bringing its inherent luminosity and binding strength into mixed-technique applications.

Liquid Gold Hemp Seed Oil

Our signature organic hemp seed oil painting medium.
Gently and thoroughly hand-refined, our Liquid Gold Hemp Seed Oil feels and behaves like walnut or poppy oil, with a silky consistency under the brush. It is very clear and bright, and won’t yellow nearly as much as linseed oils. It is useful in all types or painting, and is particularly beneficial to use with white and light colored paints. A slower drying oil, our Hand Refined Hemp Seed Oil is also ideal for artists who are grinding their own paint from raw pigments and oil, as the paint will not polymerize too quickly in tubes.
