A Book About Linseed Oil Paint, Love, and Genarp

Gunnar Ottosson 208 pages

Why is it such a wonderful feeling to paint with linseed oil paint?

Is it the scent? Is it the knowledge that you are painting with a pure natural product? No mysterious solvents, no oddities. Just 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 several hundred 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 started a paint factory in Genarp about 30 years ago. About setbacks and successes. About the love for the original, beautiful, and sustainable. Everything you want to know about linseed oil paint can be found in the book. Plus lots of inspiration, tips, and ideas.
