Linseed Oil Paint Burnt Terra (Gysinge)

Linseed Oil Paint Burnt Terra is based on a pigment that produces red and reddish-brown shades. It is rarely used on its own and is most often mixed with white. When blended with white, the pigment creates a soft, beautiful antique pink shade, a common colour mixture for linseed oil paint both indoors and outdoors, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries.

PLEASE NOTE: The colour displayed on screen does not correspond 100% to the actual colour.

Sample tins are available in pre-mixed concentrations of 1%, 7%, 15%, 30%, 60% and 100%.

Gysinge’s linseed oil paint is manufactured in our own factory from boiled cold-pressed linseed oil and pigments, without the addition of solvents.

The paint has a semi-matt finish and is suitable for both interior and exterior use on wood, sheet metal and iron. It adheres well to both new surfaces and previously painted surfaces, and works in both dry and humid environments. When freshly applied, the paint is glossy but develops a semi-matt finish after a few weeks, depending on the weather and the substrate.

Outdoors, the surface becomes matt primarily on south-facing surfaces, where UV radiation breaks down the linseed oil. This may cause the colour to lighten slightly, particularly with darker shades.

Repainting is generally not necessary until after 8–15 years, depending on exposure. The linseed oil paint works equally well on new and old surfaces, and the patina that develops over time gives the painted surface a natural and beautiful character.
