Rublev Oil Medium Walnut Oil Gel (150ml) is a thixotropic oil painting medium made from walnut oil and pyrogenic silica. This clear, pale amber gel adds transparency and body to oil, resin-oil, or alkyd paints, making it a versatile choice for artists seeking both subtle glazing and strong impasto effects.
Unlike traditional mediums, Walnut Oil Gel increases transparency without thinning paint consistency, allowing colors to remain rich and full-bodied. When added to whites, it enhances luminosity while retaining texture. Mix it directly into your paints on the palette, or combine with pigments and extenders to create your own impasto colors that won’t sink into the surface.
Free from solvents and driers, this medium is safe to use and won’t compromise paint film integrity. Walnut Oil Gel slightly extends drying time, giving artists more working flexibility, especially for blending and layering.
Supplied in a 150ml tube, Rublev Walnut Oil Gel is an essential medium for artists who prefer walnut oil over linseed oil for its clarity and reduced yellowing. Perfect for use with Rublev Natural Pigments, it offers a sustainable, solvent-free option for professional oil painters in Australia.
