RGH’s atelier series of refined painting oils is good stuff<\/a>. I’ve used most of the pictured 4-oz jar and I’m very happy with the results. I just placed an order for a full pint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good oil is critical for painting. RGH refines their oil by “historical methods.” I put that in scare quotes because one always has to be dubious of such claims, but–as they say–the proof is in the pudding. I put this oil in my Hall of Fame of good painting supplies along with several of James Grove’s varnishes, and some sun-thickened oil from Doak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The atelier series comes in linseed and walnut versions. I tried the linseed flavor. Walnut is superior to linseed in some ways but because it suedes–shows faint patterning–I always come back to linseed oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A young artist on a tight budget can improve their painting by using this oil mixed with turpentine as their medium. It is a solid start place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
