Rublev Oil Medium Velázquez Medium (50ml tube) is a professional calcite-rich oil painting medium made with finely ground calcite in bodied linseed oil. Specially formulated to extend oil paints, it modifies consistency to create a “long” rheology—perfect for fine detail, glazing, and expressive impastos.

Softer than traditional impasto mediums, this flowing paste increases transparency while allowing you to build thick, textured layers without altering color temperature. Safe and reliable, it contains no solvents, driers, stearates, or synthetic resins, ensuring durability without cracking or delamination.

Ideal for artists working with Rublev Natural Pigments, Velázquez Medium enhances brushstroke retention, flow, and leveling. It can be thinned with linseed oil or solvent and has little effect on drying time. Supplied in a convenient 50ml tube, it’s easy to add directly to paint on your palette or combine with pigments when making your own oil paints.

Rublev’s Velázquez Medium is trusted by professional artists worldwide for creating luminous, layered, and historically inspired works. Now available in Australia through our store, it’s an essential medium for extending and enriching your oil painting practice.
