linseed
Oil paint source
Linseed is the seed of the flax plant, pressed to produce linseed oil.
The oil has been used for centuries in paints, varnishes, and wood finishes because it hardens when exposed to air.
Linseed is also called flaxseed, especially when sold as a health food: She adds ground linseed to her morning smoothie.
