Unbroken 100% is often used for thresholds, for example. However, it is usually broken with white, which gives warm gray, pearl gray or marble white colors, which was common in the 18th century. Often used in glazing.
At last, linseed oil paint with real earth color pigments!
It is the linseed oil paint that has preserved and embellished Sweden’s buildings for centuries. Linseed oil paint was a matter of course, both indoors and outdoors until the 1960s. If you want to renovate in a sustainable, natural and beautiful way, then Linseed Oil Paint is No 1.
We can now proudly present three new colors of linseed oil paint made from the finest earth color pigment imaginable. Green Umbra from Verona, Red Ochre from Roussillon and French Golden Ochre.
A linseed oil paint pigmented with genuine earth color pigments gives an extra dimension to the painted surface. Made from clay soils that have been washed and bleached by nature itself over thousands of years, they are produced in the same way today as when oil paint was introduced to our northern latitudes centuries ago. Natural clay pigments such as golden ochre and red ochre are muted and vibrant at the same time, giving the natural color tone a perfect balance for old and new houses.
While developing these new colors, we have also improved our linseed oil paint. In collaboration with Kerstin Lyckman, Sweden’s only doctor of historical oil paints, we have developed our paint, which now has better coverage and longevity and is also more historically accurate. Back to basics!
ATTENTION! The color reproduction on the screen does not correspond 100% to reality.
Ingredients: Boiled, cold-pressed linseed oil. Earth pigments.
Features: Completely solvent-free. Easy to renew and maintain. Thin and easy to apply. Very thick. Good hiding power. Excellent color fastness. Good adhesion. Penetrates deeply into the substrate.
Intended for: Outdoors on wood, sheet metal and iron. Excellent also on top of old linseed oil paint. Indoors on wood, plaster, iron, etc. Suitable for both dry and damp areas.
Gloss: Shiny as freshly painted, but goes down to semi-matt after a few months. Can be matted faster by adding solvent in the last coat.
Thinner: Can be thinned with boiled linseed oil and/or turpentine. If you want to avoid thinners completely, just spread the paint thinner.
Linseed oil: Linseed oil is of the highest quality, produced in unbroken tradition in the same factory since 1839. The cold-pressed linseed oil is boiled according to tradition to minimize mold growth.
Painting instructions: Follow the instructions on the can or read our article in Building Care – Do it yourself at the top of the page.

The course of the painting
Priming: Prime with the paint thinned with about 10% turpentine.
Intermediate coat: Intermediate coat with the paint thinned with 5% turpentine.
The final coat is applied with undiluted paint. If you want to avoid gloss in the paint, you can also thin the final coating with about 5% turpentine.
Suitable painting weather: Paint in temperatures above 10 degrees Celsius. At lower temperatures the paint dries slowly and easily becomes too thick. The moisture content of the wood should be below 15%. Do not paint in direct sunlight.
Drying time: Dries indoors after one day, overpaintable after two. Dries outdoors after two days, can be painted over after three. If the paint has not dried within this time, it is probably too thick.
Equipment: Linseed oil paint is applied with a round, stiff and dense natural bristle brush. The paint is “smoothed” with a flat paintbrush. Do not roll. Do not spray.
Brush washing: Wash in turpentine, then in linseed oil soap and water. Save on washing by storing used brushes in raw linseed oil instead.
Storage: Almost unlimited storage time in a well-filled jar. Place the jar upside down to prevent air from entering. Store in a cool place. Can withstand frost. Stir well, as some pigments sink and a sediment forms.
Durability: Indoors in principle unlimited. Outdoors 10-20 years or longer, depending on the surface, environment, etc. The paint chalks in the long term, which means that you do not need mechanical paint removal before repainting.
Glaze: The paint can be used as a glaze on clean wooden surfaces indoors and outdoors, if diluted with 1/3 linseed oil and 1/3 turpentine. As a base, a half-oil of 50% boiled linseed oil and 50% turpentine is recommended.
Tips! Many people paint linseed oil paint too thickly and with brushes that are too thin. This causes the paint to run, wrinkle and have difficulty drying. So paint thinly and with good brushes! You can find lots of other good advice and tips for painting with linseed oil paint in our articles.
ATTENTION! Rags soaked in linseed oil paint can spontaneously combust. Therefore, put them in water or burn them.
