Michael Harding Refined Safflower Oil

Safflower oil is similar in properties to poppy oil. However, it forms a more flexible paint film than poppy oil and so is more suited to painting on flexible supports like stretched canvas. It is also well suited as a glazing oil. Safflower Oil is popular for grinding whites and light coloured pigments. Safflower Oil is brighter and paler than linseed oil.

  • Safflower oil is a pale, slow-drying oil which can be used to brighten and thin oil paints.

  • As it is a paler yellow than linseed oil, paler pigments (whites and pale blues especially) maintain their brightness when mixed with safflower oil.

  • Paints thinned with this product should not be used under faster drying layers, e.g. Fast Drying Medium, earth colours etc.

Michael Harding’s Safflower Oil is made from the finest materials. Harding continually develops, tests and releases new artists supplies and prides himself on the study and sourcing of the very best quality materials. By choosing the Michael Harding range you will use materials that meet the standards of the Old Masters, combined with excellent modern innovation.
