Mediums included in the Rublev Colours Gel Mediums Set 1
| Medium | Medium Name | Tube Size | Price |
| Oleogel is a thixotropic painting medium made with linseed oil and pyrogenic silica. Oleogel is a clear pale amber gel that adds transparency and a thixotropic body to oil, resin-oil, or alkyd paint. Oleogel does not contain driers, so it is safe to use in oil painting without the worry of cracking. When mixed with colors, Oleogel does not slow the drying time. | 50 ml | $11.60 | |
| Venetian Medium is based on research that 16th-century Venetian painters added powdered glass to their paint. Contains leaded crystal glass powder, pale-bodied linseed oil, and turpentine, with small amounts of wax and lead. | 50 ml | $18.20 | |
| Italian Varnish sets quickly while providing transparency and greater body to oil colors when mixed with them in glazes. It gives a lighter consistency to paint, making many different subtle techniques possible. | 50 ml | $17.10 | |
| Total | $46.90 |
Directions for Oleogel
Mix directly into your paint on the palette to give it transparency without thinning its consistency. Add pigments or extenders to thicken it to create impasto effects that do not sink in.
To make your paint with Oleogel, add directly to pigment powder until a stiff paste is obtained (almost the consistency of putty). Grind the paste with a muller on a flat surface before storing it in a collapsible tube. Some of its thixotropic properties will be temporarily lost when grinding Oleogel with a muller but should be restored when allowed to stand.
Directions for Venetian Medium and Italian Varnish
Both mediums are used as glazing mediums and are fast drying. Venetian Medium offers glaze brilliance due to the crystal glass particles. Spread thinly onto the surface and paint directly into it as a couch or add directly to the paint nut. Smooths the edges of the brush or knife strokes. Venetian Medium is fast setting and dries to a satin finish.
