Permanent Content
There is some information about oil painting that I want to keep as permanent content on this site. An
example would be the iodine value for various oils . All of the permanent content would be of the most
interest to the other painters who visit . Information like this can be found in many places, but I just want
this site to be another convenient place for artist to look and to be able to find it. If you are a painter and
would like to suggest what information should be in here, please send it to me. For now it seems this part of
the Home page, and the Technical page are the best places to put it.
Drying Oils
The iodine number ( number of grams of iodine absorbed by 100 grams of oil )is frequently used to
classify drying oils. Thus, they are considered as drying if the iodine number is greater than 130,
semi-drying if it is between 115 and 130, and nondrying if it is less than 115. The higher the number
the stronger the paint film.

If you are an artist and are planning to shoot yourself in
the leg for your next exhibit, or if you use rotting fruit as
your medium to create art, or plan to insert florescent protein
genes from a jellyfish into a fertilized rabbit egg cell,to
produce a rabbit that glows bright green under blue lights,all
of which have been done in the name of art,then I can not help
you, not that you would want it. This site would be of no
interest to you.
