Shiva Signature
Oil Colors are made with the finest grade of alkali-refined linseed oil
available. This type of oil is well-noted for excellent color stability.
“Straw” in color, it has a minimal effect on pigment colorization
and will not darken with age. In certain colors, such as the whites,
flesh colors, ice blue, and light brilliant yellow, we use safflower
oil. With these sensitive pigments that yellow easily, this oil produces
a much better non-yellowing color.
