Epoxide Oil Gel is a thixotropic painting medium made with dicyclopentadiene copolymer linseed oil and pyrogenic silica. Epoxide Oil Gel is a translucent yellow gel that adds transparency and thixotropic body to oil, resin-oil or alkyd paint. Add directly to your paint to give it transparency without thinning its consistency. Add pigments or extenders to thicken it for creating impasto effects that do not sink in.

Epoxide Oil Gel does not contain driers or solvents, so it is safe to use in oil painting without worry of cracking. When mixed with oil colors, Epoxide Oil Gel will decrease the drying time. Epoxide Oil Gel is tacky, so we do not recommend adding more than 20 to 30% to your paint.

Rublev Colours Epoxide Oil Gel: Thixotropic Gel

Epoxide Oil Gel adds transparency to whites without losing the body of the paint

Epoxide Oil Gel in the center, Lead White on the left and a mixture of Epoxide Oil Gel and Lead White on the right. Lead White is stiff, plastic and short, but when mixed with Epoxide Oil Gel the mixture is semi-transparent, soft, yet sculptural.

Rublev Colours Epoxide Oil Gel and French Raw Sienna

Epoxide Oil Gel increases transparency without flow out and leveling

Rublev Colours French Raw Sienna at left and a mixture of Epoxide Oil Gel and Raw Sienna on the right. Below each is a brush out of the above examples. Rublev Colours French Raw Sienna is long, yet holds strokes well. When Epoxide Oil Gel is added to Raw Sienna it increases transparency without causing the flow out and leveling of brushstrokes.

Directions

Mix directly into your paint right on the palette.

To make your own paint with Epoxide Oil Gel, add directly to pigment powder until a stiff paste is obtained (almost the consistency of putty). Grind the paste with a muller on a flat surface before storing in collapsible tube. Some of its thixotropic property will be temporarily lost when grinding Epoxide Oil Gel with a muller, but should be restored when allowed to stand.
