Bleached
Linseed Oil
Winsor & Newton Bleached
Linseed Oil is a refined pale oil of slightly increased viscosity that
improves the flow of colors and dries slightly faster than Winsor
& Newton Refined
Linseed Oil. It dries slightly slower than Thickened Linseed Oil, and is
thinner and paler, which is useful for use with white and pale colors.

Silicoil Brush
Cleaning Tank
Be kind to your fine
art brushes!
Stroking a brush across
the smooth surface of the aluminum coil opens and separates the hairs
for proper cleaning without damaging the fragile flags (the delicate
split ends of brush hairs).
This heavy glass tank with a screw-on lid holds up to 12 oz (355 ml) of
water, solvent or Silicoil Brush Cleaning Fluid. |

Silicoil Brush
Cleaning Fluid
Brush Cleaning Fluid —
This extremely slippery liquid instantly slides paint solids from
bristles of brushes. It preserves and conditions so that brushes remain
soft, shaped and pliable indefinitely. Soap and water is unnecessary
after cleaning. Does not lose potency, use it over and over again.
