    I wish you could also demonstrate with a brush on a canvas. Paper demo doesn't tell me much.

    I am looking for a nearly non yellowing oil, all my paintings with Schmincke oils got very yellow in the dark, the stand oil and poppy seed oil, too. Very disappointing. It hast to be pure oil without additives and non-toxic. I would prefer a slow drying oil.
    Can you recommend one?

    • @RublevColours

      There does not exist non-yellowing oil, as that is the natural behavior of vegetable drying oils. To avoid yellowing in paint, it is therefore essential to avoid adding excess oil to your oil paint. Yellowing is a factor of slow drying, so using fast-drying oils such as linseed oil is best.

    Hello, is Kettle-Bodied Oil the same as Stand-Oil, love your videos, thanks!

    • @RublevColours
      @RublevColours  Год назад

      Yes, Kettle-Bodied and all bodied oils are types of stand oil.

    sorry I can't stop using rublive dark drying oil . But you said that it change the colour . Now I use this with gum sprit and linsid oil . It doesn't creat any darkeness when it is used in a little amount . But if I use this in a little amount can it make my painting dark or yellow over time

    • @RublevColours
      @RublevColours  10 месяцев назад

      If used sparingly, then you should be fine with the color.

    Does the lead in the linseed oil actually act as a siccative facilitating the drying of oil paint, or are the advantages something else?

    • @RublevColours
      @RublevColours  10 месяцев назад

      Technically, lead white does not act as a siccative, but it hastens drying due to the formation of lead soaps. Lead soaps are beneficial in that they provide a self-healing mechanism for oil paint films as they age and become brittle. Lead white pil paint films remain flexible for longer periods than any other pigmented oil paint film.

    Do all alkyds darken out of the light? If I use your non-alkyd mediums, will it mitigate this tendency? I have paintings I used with alkyds and I really hate this weakness and I have so much Gamblin, like really huge tubes of it.

    • @RublevColours

      Alkyds and oils darken when stored in darkness, but they return to their original color when exposed to indirect sunlight or artificial light.

    I suddenly had a question about the miscibility of pigments with oil; Some pigments are very difficult to mix with oil without additives or some kind of medium. It seems to me that such pigments cannot be mixed at all, and I would be interested to know if you have such information, do such additives exist today for such pigments? I would be very grateful if you answer!

    • @RublevColours
      @RublevColours  5 месяцев назад

      Some pigments do not disperse well in pint mediums, such as oil (this is not the same as miscibility) due to poor wetting. This can be mitigated by using additives.

    Although I have not tried your oil colors, I really like you guys. I have one question though, the color chart of some of the red colors on your website show muted earth red colors, but in the video, they look so vibrant. Why?

    • @RublevColours
      @RublevColours  Год назад

      Reproductions are always problematic. Try them, and you will see.

      I know that paint on paper looks different than paint represented by lights. Unless you're looking at the paper online, then nevermind.

    Do you have a copal or "marogers" medium?

    • @RublevColours
      @RublevColours  Год назад +1

      Since genuine semi-fossil copals do not exist, we do not make a copal medium; otherwise, we would. Maroger medium in oil paint has potential issues discussed in this article: www.naturalpigments.com/artist-materials/resin-mediums-damar-maroger

    • @RublevColours
      @RublevColours  Год назад +1

      Natural Pigments makes a good substitute for Maroger medium: Italian Varnish www.naturalpigments.com/italian-varnish.html

    • @skrewler
      @skrewler Год назад

      @@RublevColours thanks. I was wondering about the copals, I believe Permanent Pigments stopped producing it due to the lack of a true artists copal. it seems other companies offer a copal medium, but I suppose it must be with the "industrial grade" copal and not artist grade?

    А кому пришло в голову назвать компанию "Рублёв" ?

    • @RublevColours
      @RublevColours  6 месяцев назад

      The company founders wanted to pay homage to the great Russian artist Andrei Rublev. Основатели компании хотели отдать дань уважения великому русскому художнику Андрею Рублёву.
