A book about linseed oil paint, love and Genarp

Why is painting with linseed oil paint 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 strange additives. 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 perhaps it's because genuine linseed oil paint is so pliable, provides such good coverage, and creates such a beautiful surface?

This book is about the artist Gunnar Ottosson, who started a paint factory in Genarp about 30 years ago. It covers setbacks and successes. It's 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.
