Inorganic, natural earth—This is the purest and oldest form of the Lapis Lazuli pigment, a genuine earth from Afghanistan. Lapis was the inspiration for the modern synthetic ultramarine blue, whose colour is a deeper, less dirty blue than Lapis; the handling qualities are identical.
This is the blue that the Old Masters used for centuries. This pigment is expensive and rare. Lapis Lazuli and Azurite are a family of natural earth pigments and were the source of the famous blues of the Middle Ages.
There are plenty of books that deal with this subject superbly, but I feel it’s appropriate that I say a few things about it…

This versatile set of professional-grade drying oils blends tradition with innovation. It will allow artists to choose the right oil for their needs. A refined linseed oil set offering the clearest and lightest linseed oils in their class. This set is ideal for artists looking to maintain the purity of their colors while still achieving smooth, buttery brushstrokes. The Linseed Alchemy set includes the following linseed oils:
Cold-pressed linseed Oil is produced from the first pressing of flax seeds without using heat or chemicals. It can be used to grind colors, but washing and bleaching before use is sometimes best. It is sometimes recommended when grinding dry pigment to make oil paint because of its higher acidity than alkali-refined linseed oil. It is used as a medium with oil colors for thinning, lower gloss and transparency, and pronouncing brush marks.
Refined Aged Linseed Oil is a low-acid value drying oil pressed from North American flax seeds. It is an alkali refined oil with low acidity and a light color. Refined Aged Linseed Oil is as light and pure as industrially produced linseed oil can be. Use it to grind colors, thin oil colors, or prepare oleoresinous varnishes.
Pale Grinders Oil is refined, bleached, and dewaxed linseed oil and linseed oil fatty acids. It is exceptionally light in color and well-suited for grinding colors. Its high acidity gives it excellent pigment-wetting properties for making your own oil paint with dry pigments. High-acid value oils make it easier to wet pigments that are difficult to grind, such as lakes and lamp black, and are especially valuable for grinding reactive pigments, such as lead white.
Pale Drying Oil is yellow to dark amber in color and perfect for making oil paints dry faster. It is derived from processed linseed oil from selected flax seeds. The oil is heated in closed kettles with the scientific addition of driers. It meets ASTM D 260, Type 1, and Federal Specification TT-L-190 standards. Add small amounts to your oil paint to promote faster drying.

Essentially a Walnut oil based Oleogel.
Walnut Oil Gel is a thixotropic (meaning the more it is worked the more fluid it becomes) painting medium made with walnut oil and pyrogenic silica. lt is a clear pale amber gel that adds transparency and thixotropic body to paint. Add pigments or extenders to thicken it for creating impasto effects that do not sink in. It will increase the drying time of oil paint.
Rublev Colours Balsam Essential Oil Medium is composed of Canada balsam, pale bodied linseed oil and spike oil. Add to colors for enamel-like effects, to achieve glow in glazes and facilitate fusion.

How to Use
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.
Rublev Colours Balsam Essential Oil Medium is an excellent substitute for Ralph Mayer’s glazing medium described in his handbook, The Artist's Handbook of Materials and Techniques, which is a medium composed of stand oil, dammar varnish, and turpentine.
Ingredients
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.
Balsam Essential Oil Medium contains spike oil. Our spike oil is an essential oil obtained by distillation of the flower spikes of the herb Lavandula x. intermedia ‘Grosso’ or other related species. It was commonly used as a solvent in oil painting by European old masters. For instance, Francisco Pacheco mentions the use of spike oil in his book Arte de la Pintura (1649). For more information on the spike oil in Balsam Essential Oil Medium, please read the article, Lavender Spike Oil: Source, Use and History in Painting.
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.
