It's used as a natural medium for mixing with Natural Earth Paint's earth and mineral pigments to make oil paint, thinning paint, and creating natural wood stains.
Place pigment on a palette, pour a small amount of walnut oil on top, then mix with a palette knife or glass muller until you reach a smooth, thick consistency.
Yes, walnut oil is slower-drying than linseed oil, which gives artists more working time for blending and glazing, and it is also less prone to yellowing over time.
Yes, it contains nuts (it's pressed from walnuts), so it's not suitable for use by anyone with a nut allergy.
As a general guide, add no more than around 20% oil to your paint mix, similar to how the Old Masters worked. Adding more oil than this can cause drying or adhesion issues, and oil should never be added to the very first paint layer.
