| Pure artists linseed oil,as opposed to ordinary boiled linseed oil is the answer,you need to thin it with either oil of spike lavender,or one of the new proprietry zest type thinners,as linseed oil is slow drying you may benefit from adding a small amount of alkyd drier which will certainly expedite the drying time,all of these excellent products can be obtained or ordered from art suppliers.
As regards the colours to mix into it,use either raw umber for darker washes,or yellow ocre for lighter finishes,experimentation as always is the eventual answer.
