Maimeri Stand Linseed Oil 75 ml
Maimeri Stand Linseed Oil (No. 652) is a refined, polymerized linseed oil with significantly higher viscosity than regular oil, intended for oil painting. It creates a very glossy, flexible film that resists cracking, while softening brush strokes and slowing drying. It is an ideal choice for artists looking for a medium for glazes that stays workable for a long time, as well as for the thick impasto technique.

Use and application
The oil is suitable for glazes, thick impasto, and techniques that require paints to stay workable for longer. In small amounts, it prevents visible brush strokes. Thanks to its higher oil content, it belongs in the top layers of a painting, following the “fat over lean” rule. Always close the bottle tightly after use.
