No. 247 Opera Rose (PR122) A highly saturated, fluorescent pink, Opera Rose captivates with its vivid intensity and bold vibrancy. Derived from the family of quinacridone magentas, it offers a striking, almost shocking, hue that stands apart. Unlike traditional quinacridones, Opera Rose has its own unique flow and handling. While its lightfastness is moderate, its radiant, eye-catching colour makes it a popular choice for fiery skies, impressionistic florals, abstracts, or any artwork where a high-impact pink is desired.

Artefex Lead White Oil-Primed ACM Panel is a professional oil primed art panel with Rublev lead white oil priming on a two-sided aluminum composite panel, consisting of two aluminum sheets laminated to both sides of a black polyethylene core.
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.
The new set from Michael Harding, Whitechapel - Cook's Yard, pays tribute to a formative chapter in Michael’s paint-making journey. From 1999 to 2010, he worked out of a small space at 88 Mile End Road in Whitechapel, East London.
That very address was once home to Captain James Cook. Cook and his family lived at both 88 and 89 Mile End Road, but reportedly detested their time there due to the overpowering smell from a nearby gin distillery — the same building Michael would later use for making paint.
The ten colours in this set reflect not only the physical environment of Whitechapel, but also the experimental spirit of that period in his career. As with every Michael Harding collection, the name reflects more than just the palette — it tells the story behind it.
Previous sets include Tunbridge Wells and Brick Lane. Cook’s Yard continues the series, with Brecon Beacons to follow. Each collection is available either as a complete set or as individual colours.
The colours included are; Belladonna, Citron, Herculane Red, Hookers Green, Madder Brown, Olive Green, Orange Sunset, Permanent Brown, Rose Blush and Warm Yellow.
Artefex Allinpanel is a professional art panel for oil painting with 100% linen canvas lead oil-primed and adhered with BEVA 371 film to a two-sided aluminum composite panel, consisting of two aluminum sheets laminated to both sides of a black polyethylene core.
