Kremer Poppy Oil (73600)
Poppy Oil
Order number: 73600
pure, refined
Poppy oil yellows considerably less than linseed oil. It maintains its consistency better when ground into thick, buttery oil paint (makes a nice short paint). Poppy oil can mitigate the fast drying effect of some pigments to reduce internal tensions in drying times of a paint layer. Excellent to use for wet-in-wet painting. Poppy oil does not, however, become as hard when dry as other oils. It shouldnt be used on fat, nonabsorbent grounds. Paintings done in poppy oil, especially with a heavier application, should be left unvarnished. Our poppy oil is filtered, refined, and acid reduced.
