All you need to do is dilute titanium white with linseed oil. Mix these together until you get a creamy consistency. Some artists choose to mix equal parts of linseed oil and Turpenoid (or turpentine) to create this homemade medium. Everyone has their own recipe and it’s what works well for their personal technique.
Q. Which is better raw or boiled linseed oil?
Some people say boiled linseed oil is better because it dries faster while others say raw linseed oil is better because it’s natural and doesn’t contain the metallic dryers found in boiled linseed oil. On the other hand, raw linseed oil doesn’t contain chemical dryers so it’s safer to use but takes more time to dry.

Q. Can I use olive oil instead of linseed oil?
You could substitute vegetable oil or linseed oil for the olive oil but you should avoid the use of virgin olive oil because it doesn’t work nearly as well.
Q. Can you make paint with olive oil?
Non-drying oils include almond oil and olive oil and are not suitable for oil painting. Different oils have different characteristics and drying times. Linseed oil is one of the most commonly used oils for painting and is a great carrier of pigment.
Q. Can you paint with boiled linseed oil?
Boiled Linseed Oil (BLO) is a common item in my shop and in a lot of woodworker’s shops. It is a great oil treatment for woods, leaving a smooth touch on the surface. It revitalizes old dried wood and gives it a new life. BLO is often mixed with other finishes and was once one of the main ingredients in most paints.
Q. Does boiled linseed oil darken wood?
Linseed oil (both raw and boiled) darkens in the absence of light. That is, it darkens in the opposite conditions than those affecting most finishes and woods. That a linseed-oil-finished object will darken in time, especially if it is kept in low-light conditions.
Q. Can I mix linseed oil with acrylic paint?
No, mixing linseed oil with acrylic paint is not a sound practice. Oil and water do not mix. Over time there may be problems with adhesion and other conservation problems. Painting with oils over acrylics is acceptable if the acrylics have had a chance to dry.
Q. What do you thin boiled linseed oil with?
For protecting concrete or stone from freeze/thaw cycles and from salt and chemical damage, mix equal parts of Boiled Linseed Oil with Paint Thinner, Mineral Spirits or Varsol* Paint Thinner.
Q. Does boiled linseed oil need to be thinned?
No you don’t need to thin BLO, or any other drying oil, to apply it.
Q. Can you mix linseed oil with water?
You can mix them with water, linseed oil, stand oil, or other solvents. Traditional linseed oil used to thin water soluble oils will give the painting a nice sheen and add depth to the color. There are specially formulated linseed, safflower, and other oils that have been designed to work with water-soluble oils.
