Mar 9, 2015 · However, comparing the working properties of Rublev to modern oil paint with lots of stabilizer, is not fair. It is an apples to oranges comparison. I can have the most runny of paints, add lots of stabilizer, and suddenly people will think that I have a paint very low in oil content, though the opposite is true.

Jan 10, 2016 · Rublev Lead Oil Ground is an excellent foundation for oil and alkyd paints. The important characteristics that grounds should have are (1) adhesion, 2) flexibility, 3) penetration control, 4) a type of surface to which upper layers can adhere well, 5) blister and crack resistance, and 6) good application properties.

Aug 13, 2019 · So far I’ve become very interested in Michael Harding’s Cremnitz White (Walnut Oil), Rublev’s Flemish White, Rublev’s Ceruse, and Williamsburg’s Porcelain White. If anyone has any experiences, with any of the aforementioned tubes of paint I’d love to hear about them. Furthermore, if anyone has any other suggestions please share :).

Sep 29, 2015 · Venetian Medium contains leaded crystal glass powder, the palest bodied linseed oil, sun-thickened walnut oil with small amounts of wax, odorless mineral spirits and lead drier. Spread thinly onto the surface and paint directly into it as a couch or add directly to paint nut. Smooths the edges of brush or knife strokes.

Jul 5, 2021 · Some colours will be soft whilst others will be ropey, buttery or stiff.” I thought that they would be somewhat like Vasari or Rublev. So I ordered their mars red, yellow and orange. If you’ve ever hand-ground opaque synthetic iron oxide colors in oil you’ll know that they make soft, long, somewhat syrupy oil paint.

May 27, 2018 · I used to paint with lead white. I miss it. My choice was Michael Harding (UK manufacturer) and I heard very good things about Rublev. If I were in the USA I would buy Rublev or Blue Ridge because of good reports. My advice: [1] Pay attention to the pigments on the tube.

Sep 28, 2020 · The stink. Couldn’t go in the studio for two days. * Apparently lead white alkyd paint (Winsor & Newton used to make some) eventually hardens up too much over the years. Not as bad as zinc white oil paint, but still edging outside the goldilocks zone. Lots of very useful info there thank you! It’s lucky you remembered, so glad I asked you.

Dec 21, 2016 · It’s real good paint, no doubt, but strangely it’s super-oily (every time I open the tube I gotta pour out oil) and at the same time very heavily pigmented. Harding’s stuff is so good, perfect for me, no need to spend 3x the amount for Vasari (and either have to order $100 from them directly or order from Jackson’s and wait 3 weeks to ...

Mar 15, 2007 · The paint was “long” but not to the extent of having a ropey or taffy-like consistency. I examined the 20ml tube of Rublev Malachite Oil Colour that you returned and it is defective. We will determine the extent of this defect and diagnose it, but the oil paint appears to have coalesced into gel structures.

Jan 29, 2011 · That way the oil content of the paint doesn’t rise up completely. Also depending on the brand, I’ve decided to put each brand in a separate small separator. What I have is mostly Old Holland, Vasari, Winsor and Newton, Rembrandt, and a small collection of Holbein, Charvin, Williamsburg, and Rublev.
