I really love your videos, the information that I found about the topics that you are covering are way too long or even difficult to find for some people, you make it easy and comprehensible, also love the way that you paint and your drawing capabilities, you are awesome, thanks
Thank you so much! I am glad you have been able to find value in these videos!
Agreed. Invaluable!
Hi. I’m leaving a comment because I have a question. I’d like to know the ratio between linseed oil and litharge.
Thanks Samuel, I use Rembrandts medium or as I like to call it Magic Mayo Its similar to your Black Oil and Beeswax medium but non-toxic... I leaned how to make it from Osamu Obi, he makes it by beating the yolk of an egg with vinegar and sun thickened linseed oil until it is the consistency of thick mayonnaise. It works pretty great with lead white and works with well with all my paints I use it in my last layers. Ill try the Black oil and see how that works for me, Thanks again.
Thanks a lot .you are a good artist and a good chemistry guy also 👌
Yesss, Rublev for the win! Definitely will reference your video on making lead white as I need more of that than my budget will allow.
Are you using pure black oil to mix into your dry pigments such as the ivory black? I ask because George O'Handlon of natural pigments told me during a stream that it you don't really want to do that, that the best practice is to treat it as an additive.
Have you ever thought of making your own spike lavender oil?
The black oil I mixed into the ivory black was around 3% and I believe a added a bit of regular linseed and a touch of stand oil. That is good to know about not overdoing it. My goal is to make the ivory black dry faster, not sink in, but then also not be too oily.
I would love to give it a try either lavender spike. I have made a steam distiller for extracting essential oils and have used it for pine (where I am based there are like 80 pine trees) but I haven't tried with lavender spike before! It is on my bucket list.
@samuel.s.hoskins I have lavender bushes in my neighborhood! idk if they're the right kind however. You should upload a video about your diy distiller!
I love your videos! do have a reading list of the books you talk of. I would love to read futher about these techniques
I do and use a cooked oil too but never tried with litharge, instead i use calcium sulfate and bone ash, but before mixed the minerals with the oil i crush them using a mortar and a pestle, the minerals need to be very fine almost like smoke, otherwise the resulting oil its not so satisfactory. You should try to get a mortar and a pestle to crush your pigments, there are a very cheap ones made of hard plastic, that can do the job.
So you use black oil to make paint, or in mediums or both? I saw a series of photos of a guy using black oil as a glaze medium on a painting in the maxfield parrish style. Pretty impressive. Next week I’m going to try the glazing with rublev’s black oil.
I see, so I should use this when painting outside? Or near a window?
Making it yes, Using it inside isn't a problem. It doesn't evaporate or give off vapors like turpentine can.

Just want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. I find these old alchemical recipes incredibly interesting.
I've got a question regarding what you said, that this oil is as dark as its going to get and I've heard the same said about stand oil. So I was wondering if you've experienced making your own paint using stand oil instead of the regular options. I haven't been able to find much info about it online, but if oil is oil then I'd assume it would work just fine...right?
Thank you for watching! Stand oil is a thickened form of linseed oil. I usually add a bit in addition to the regular linseed oil when I am making lead white or ivory black. It helps the paint not sink in so much and helps it retain the brushstrokes more. I think if you only used stand oil it would be tough to work with and it would have a consistency similar to honey.
I hope that helps!
What medium can control the drying speed of black oil?
The black oil speeds the drying time for any medium you add it into. If it is a slow drying medium, the black oil will speed it up. If it is a fast drying medium, it will make it dry even faster. I hope that helps!
2024 and you make lead paint. Ok bro ok
