Do you need to find the best oil painting medium for your painting technique? Oil paint is a slow-drying paint consisting of pigment particles suspended in a drying oil, commonly linseed oil. The viscosity of the paint may be modified by adding a solvent, such as turpentine or mineral spirits (white spirits), and varnish may be added to increase the glossiness of the dried film. In this video, we show the complete range of oil painting mediums (or, as we prefer to call them, "amendments") made by Natural Pigments. These amendments are designed to alter the consistency of oil paint in novel ways, different from the varnishes introduced into everyday use since the eighteenth century.

I really love your honesty and transparency, as well as your willing to share your deep, deep knowledge. Thank you SO, so much
I appreciate that!
This was a fairly comprehensive tutorial. Thanks for sharing all this information. It helps a lot In helping to determine what mediums/oils to use.
We are glad you like it!
Very good information. Thank you. Just found your products in a store near me.
Glad you like them!
I LOVE Rublev
Hello, is Kettle-Bodied Oil the same as Stand-Oil, love your videos, thanks!
Yes, Kettle-Bodied and all bodied oils are types of stand oil.
I am looking for a nearly non yellowing oil, all my paintings with Schmincke oils got very yellow in the dark, the stand oil and poppy seed oil, too. Very disappointing. It hast to be pure oil without additives and non-toxic. I would prefer a slow drying oil.
Can you recommend one?
There does not exist non-yellowing oil, as that is the natural behavior of vegetable drying oils. To avoid yellowing in paint, it is therefore essential to avoid adding excess oil to your oil paint. Yellowing is a factor of slow drying, so using fast-drying oils such as linseed oil is best.
Although I have not tried your oil colors, I really like you guys. I have one question though, the color chart of some of the red colors on your website show muted earth red colors, but in the video, they look so vibrant. Why?
Reproductions are always problematic. Try them, and you will see.
I know that paint on paper looks different than paint represented by lights. Unless you're looking at the paper online, then nevermind.
I suddenly had a question about the miscibility of pigments with oil; Some pigments are very difficult to mix with oil without additives or some kind of medium. It seems to me that such pigments cannot be mixed at all, and I would be interested to know if you have such information, do such additives exist today for such pigments? I would be very grateful if you answer!
Some pigments do not disperse well in pint mediums, such as oil (this is not the same as miscibility) due to poor wetting. This can be mitigated by using additives.
sorry I can't stop using rublive dark drying oil . But you said that it change the colour . Now I use this with gum sprit and linsid oil . It doesn't creat any darkeness when it is used in a little amount . But if I use this in a little amount can it make my painting dark or yellow over time
If used sparingly, then you should be fine with the color.
Do all alkyds darken out of the light? If I use your non-alkyd mediums, will it mitigate this tendency? I have paintings I used with alkyds and I really hate this weakness and I have so much Gamblin, like really huge tubes of it.
Alkyds and oils darken when stored in darkness, but they return to their original color when exposed to indirect sunlight or artificial light.
Does the lead in the linseed oil actually act as a siccative facilitating the drying of oil paint, or are the advantages something else?
Technically, lead white does not act as a siccative, but it hastens drying due to the formation of lead soaps. Lead soaps are beneficial in that they provide a self-healing mechanism for oil paint films as they age and become brittle. Lead white pil paint films remain flexible for longer periods than any other pigmented oil paint film.
I like the rublive historical paint . Because they are very very very good paint. l live in Bangladesh how to get rublive oil paint from Bangladesh or India. I didn't find any rublive oil paint in India and become so frustrate because I can't use other paint . I bought a lot of rublev paint and midium form my urop treep . pleade give me information that what can I do now
You can order from our U.S. website.
Do you have a copal or "marogers" medium?
Since genuine semi-fossil copals do not exist, we do not make a copal medium; otherwise, we would. Maroger medium in oil paint has potential issues discussed in this article: www.naturalpigments.com/artist-materials/resin-mediums-damar-maroger
Natural Pigments makes a good substitute for Maroger medium: Italian Varnish www.naturalpigments.com/italian-varnish.html
@@RublevColours thanks. I was wondering about the copals, I believe Permanent Pigments stopped producing it due to the lack of a true artists copal. it seems other companies offer a copal medium, but I suppose it must be with the "industrial grade" copal and not artist grade?
А кому пришло в голову назвать компанию "Рублёв" ?
The company founders wanted to pay homage to the great Russian artist Andrei Rublev. Основатели компании хотели отдать дань уважения великому русскому художнику Андрею Рублёву.
