Walnut oil

Walnut oil was one of the most important and vital oils of the Renaissance. Fast drying, and a lack of yellow tint made and make this a good resource.

Walnut oil is of a fickle nature. In recent years, walnut oil has left the main market after being found to rot when stocked at shops for too long. Though one will still find the mention of it in older references and occasionally a place of business may still sell it, it should be noted that its market is dying. Instead of walnut oil many artists and stores sell Linseed oil, Poppyseed oil, and Safflower oil as replacements.
