Description

Rublev Oil Medium Balsam Essential Oil Medium (100ml) is a traditional oil painting medium made with Canada balsam, pale bodied linseed oil, and lavender spike oil. Inspired by Old Master techniques, this clear, aromatic medium enhances color brilliance, increases gloss, and improves the fusion of brushstrokes for luminous, enamel-like effects.

When mixed with oil paints, Balsam Essential Oil Medium provides a flowing consistency, improves adhesion between layers, and dries to a satin-to-gloss finish depending on the amount used. It is especially useful for glazing and for achieving glowing, transparent layers of color. Unlike harsher solvents, its inclusion of lavender spike oil makes it a safer, historically authentic alternative.

This medium can be thinned with spike oil or turpentine and is an excellent substitute for Ralph Mayer’s glazing medium described in The Artist’s Handbook of Materials and Techniques. With Canada balsam providing exceptional clarity, faster drying properties, and optical stability, this medium is ideal for artists who want to replicate the depth and luminosity of classical oil painting methods.

Supplied in a 100ml bottle, Rublev Balsam Essential Oil Medium is part of the Rublev Natural Pigments range—trusted by artists worldwide and now available in Australia.
