A Book About Linseed Oil Love And Genarp

Gunnar Ottosson 208 pages

Why is painting with linseed oil such a wonderful feeling?

Is it the smell? Is it the knowledge that you are painting with a pure natural product? No mysterious solvents, no weirdness. Only linseed oil and natural pigments.

Or is it because we know that the same type of paint has been used and worked on and in our houses for hundreds of years? Or is it perhaps because the genuine linseed oil paint is so flexible, covering and gives such a beautiful surface?

This book is about the artist Gunnar Ottosson, who about 30 years ago started a paint factory in Genarp. About setbacks and successes. About the love of the original, beautiful and sustainable. You will find everything you want to know about linseed oil paint in the book. Plus lots of inspiration, tips and ideas.
