Linseed oil paint does not flow out on its own but must be worked out to even and covering layers. There is no need to press hard with the brush; the binder penetrates the surface structure of the substrate even if you do not press at all. Pick up a small amount of paint on the brush, straight from the can. Then work the paint out with light brush strokes until the paint layer is even and opaque but not thick and runny. Repeat when there is no longer enough paint coming from the brush. Video: Facade painting with linseed oil paint. Follow the instructions on the GENERAL page above.
