How to Create Oil Paint
1. Scoop a pile of pigment onto a glass palette.
2. Create a small hole at the top of the pile, like a volcano.
3. Add about 30% by volume of walnut or linseed oil. All natural pigments absorb liquid differently and in different amounts. Just add drops of oil and mix until a thick paste forms - you don't want it too thin!
4. Mix with palette knife or glass muller.
5. Thin paints and clean brushes with Eco-Solve, a 100% soybean based solvent.
6. Optional - Varnish final painting with Natural Varnish.

- Eco Oil Painting Guide & Mixing Instructions
Note: Each pigment color is a unique material with a different set of characteristics, such as liquid absorbency, volume, texture, tinting strength, drying time, and granulation. Because of these characteristics, they each require a different volume of oil to create the desired paint consistency.
