y of producing refined and sun bleached Linseed oil mediums for oil painting.

Since the ancient times, professional painters and master artists were keen to use the best available art materials to grant long lasting artwork with high resistance to time deterioration. During the late 18th century when the industrial revolution in Europe took place, modern forms of producing and refining oils were introduced to the industry. These ways depended basically on using chemicals and high heat treatment to serve mass production and huge market expansion. Such modern ways of producing refined oil, especially for Linseed oil has affected the natural oil drying properties like drying time without using metallic dries, elasticity of drying film and dry paint cracking resistance, glossy enamel like finish, adhesion to painting support, interaction with light exposure as well as darkness. Old masters knew the importance of refining the Flaxseed oil before
using it for grinding pigments and making oil color paste, otherwise raw
Flaxseed oil caused major deterioration to their paintings, especially color yellowing and darkening, until potentially reaching a complete loss of the artwork to the darkness of colors by the time.
