Rublev Colours Balsam Essential Oil Medium 8oz
Rublev Colours Balsam Essential Oil Medium 8oz
Add a small amount of Balsam Essential Oil Medium to your paint to make it brush out more easily. Balsam Essential Oil Medium can be thinned with spike oil or turpentine. Mixed directly into the paint on the palette, it gives colors a flowing consistency yet dries to a satin-to-gloss finish, depending upon the amount used. Balsam Essential Oil Medium smells wonderful.
Balsam Essential Oil Medium is a 44% weight-to-volume solution of Canada balsam in bodied linseed oil and spike oil (written in scientific notation as 44% w/v). Canada balsam is a turpentine made from the resin of the balsam fir tree (Abies balsamea) that grows in boreal North America. The resin, dissolved in essential oils, is a viscous, sticky, yellowish liquid that becomes a transparent yellowish mass when the essential oils evaporate. Canada balsam becomes an amorphous solid upon drying. Since it does not crystallize with age, its optical properties do not deteriorate. Canada balsam is clearer and faster-drying than Venice turpentine.
Balsam Essential Oil Medium contains the palest-bodied linseed oil to provide greater leveling and flow out and better drying properties.
Note: Always test the use of any medium in your application before using in your artwork. It is never recommended to exceed 20% by volume of mediums to paint in any application.
