Rublev Colours Oleogel Oil Painting Medium (8 fl oz / 236 ml) is a solvent-free gel medium designed to extend oil colour, increase transparency for glazing, and improve flow without making paint runny. Made from linseed oil + pyrogenic silica, Oleogel adds a controllable, brush-responsive thixotropic body—so paint moves smoothly, then holds strokes and texture in place.

Use Oleogel in small amounts on the palette to create luminous, controllable layers, soften dense paints for easier blending, and boost transparency in whites and colour mixes without thinning consistency. It contains no added driers, so it’s a reliable studio medium when you want predictable handling and stable paint films.

Why artists use Oleogel

• Solvent-free medium for healthier oil painting practice

• Boosts transparency for glazing and subtle tints

• Improves flow while keeping paint structured

• Helps maintain brushstroke definition (less leveling)

• Great for layering, blending, and extending paint

• Compatible with oil, resin oil, and alkyd paints

How to use

1. Mix a small amount into oil paint on your palette (palette knife recommended).

2. Add gradually—Oleogel is strong and a little goes a long way.

3. Aim for up to ~25% by volume mixed with paint for best handling and drying balance.

4. Apply in controlled layers (thin applications are best for clean results).

Studio note: Oil mediums should be treated responsibly—avoid ingestion, prolonged skin contact, and inhaling mists/vapours from heating.
