Oil of Delft
Can anyone shead light on the method of manufacture and ingredients in the newly offered "Oil of Delft" sold by Alchemist? Below you will find the ad at their website. I have read the original sources contained in Eastlake and Merrifield and cannot recall an oil that will allow painting wet-in-wet without the colors bleeding together. This would be a miraculous product, indeed, if this were true! Has anyone used this oil and can they attest to this trait in it? I have not succeeded in getting a response from the company to my inquiries in regard to this product. Here is the ad from their website: "Alchemist Paints and Varnishes is proud to present its newly developed linseed oil painting medium Oil of Delft®, based
on our newly developed method of processing linseed oil. This medium, based on our extensive research of 16th and
17th century manuscripts on the art of painting, is made without additions of synthetic resins, metal-based driers or
resins. Artists using this medium will be able to apply several layers of wet paint in a vertical position in one setting
without having to wait for each layer to first dry. This medium used alone or in conjunction with any of our other amber
and non-amber painting media, will allow artists to recreate the optical effects often associated with Renaissance and
Baroque paintings in oil.
