" A Portrait of Time" Painting process Part6 Medium

This is the painting process of the work "A Portrait of Time" that I created for the IBEX Collection Master Piece Project over the three years from 2016 to 2019. I will publish the whole process of completing this painting in several parts. Part 6 is about how to make a medium made by adding egg yolk to sunsickened linseed oil and its effect. You can visually see how it differs from general linseed oil.
IBEX Collection Master Piece Project のために2016年から2019年の3年間にわたって描いた作品「時の肖像」、プロジェクトのために制作過程をビデオで撮影していたものを編集し、これからいくつかの短いビデオにまとめていきたいと思います。第6回はサンシックンドリンシードオイルに卵黄を加えたメディウムの作り方とその効果についてです。普通のリンシードオイルと具体的にどのように違うのかを視覚的に見ていただけると思います。

[@joebrann4612]

Black oil will make fine lines better, and dry quicker. Just heat red lead into linseed and stir until it's very dark. 30% lead ratio is good, but you can play around with it.

Спасибо за ваш труд и полноценные описания технологии. На эту технологию со своими особенностями операюсь (пользуюсь) с 1998 года .Вот одна из линий (направлений)----вместо уксуса свинцовый сахар (свинец(II) уксуснокислый 3-водный) 3-5 грамм на 1 желток вода дистиллированная и общий объем как у Вас

[@burnettsuzuki]

Hi there Mr. Osumu. I’d like to ask you that (1) If I try to use another medium like: Liquin (Newton &Winsor) or Walnut Alkyd Medium (made by M. Graham), is it possible to achieve the same effect you’ve made from the mediums you made in the video? (2) How long to make the sun thickened linseed oil? 1 month or 2 months? And both the mediums are speed-drying medium? (3) Do you use the mediums you made in the video ALL THE TIMES in every step/process of oil painting? Thank you so much

[@ruedesilly]

Thank you. (1) I have never compared those mediums with my medium, so I can't say for sure. I think those mediums are probably more solid than my mediums. (2) The time it takes to make Sun thickened linseed oil varies depending on the environment, such as temperature and sunlight. In my garden environment, it can be made in about 2 months in summer. Medium made with Sun thickened linseed oil dries quickly. Medium made with Stand linseed oil dries slower than that. I adjust the drying time by mixing the two mediums according to the drying time I want. (3) I use these mediums at every stage of my painting process.

This is amazing video!!!!! For how long you can store it????

[@bodeaalex1142]

Great demo! I guess in pure oil it's easier to scratch out the finer lines with the end of the brush handle or a toothpick rather than painting them.

[@ruedesilly]

Yes. When using pure linseed oil, trying to draw a thin line will rather scrape it. For me, this medium is easy to use with free control of the lines. Of course there must be another way to draw fine lines with pure linseed, so I'm not saying that the medium I use is better than pure linseed oil.

卵黄1個にお酢は大さじで何杯位でしょうか？ サンシックンドオイルは市販のものでも大丈夫ですか？

[@ruedesilly]

ビデオの中で説明しているのですが、卵黄1つ（約20cc)に対し約５～６倍程度の油です。入れながら硬さを見て一番硬くなったところで止める感じですね。それ以上入れると一気にかたちを保たなくなりますので注意が必要です。もちろん市販の油で大丈夫です。

[@noriko8529]

Suggestion: When making egg tempra i use the best half of the egg shell as the measuring cup. Try breaking the egg shell in a clean edge half.

[@minhdao4561]

What kind of white vinegar do you used in the process of making tempera, sensei? Can i use white vinegar for cooking?

[@mariomacario5007]

Hello Master, how long does the medium that you prepared have to live and having in the fridge extends its life time more?

[@xaderp]

Thank you! I guess the vinegar works as a preservative? I mix a little Cobalt siccative into the oil, before I give it to the egg, to make it dry faster. But that makes it toxic.

[@ruedesilly]

Thank you xaderp. I don't add a dryer. For me, it dries faster without adding a dryer. I add a medium with stand oil when I want to slow down the drying.

[@JaTaSaJaTa]

can you please tell me why you add the vinegar? Thank you for sharing this medium

[@unonnuimuorica]

Thank you for sharing this video. Is anything added to the white paint in these tests to make it flow off the brush like that?

[@ruedesilly]

Yes. I like viscous paints. It is effective in creating beautiful textures. The addition of standlinseed oil further increases the viscosity of Lead white.

[@andreuasencios3620]

Egg oil emulsion is great, but i think you can do the same or better if you actuallly use only linseed oil that was also beaten with some calcium carbonate. Beating using a whisk introduce air to the egg or oil.

[@LevAvagyan]

Hello Mr. Osamu!! This is very helpful!! Did 15th century artists like Van der Weyden and Jan van Eyck use this medium?? If they use this, at what stages of painting? And second question pleaseee!! Have you studied about their mediums, did they use water-soluble tempera or they use turpentine to thin their oil or emulation paints. Please answer, this is very very important to me!! Thank you in advance 🙏

[@andreuasencios3620]

Start with linseed oil, mix using a blender linseed oil, vinegar and some calcium carbonate, then cook this oil in a saintless steel pan at medium fire for 45 minutes, let cold down and save the oil in a transparent bottle, put that at the windows to bleach. Cut with turps or MS for using as a medium.

[@LevAvagyan]

Mr. Osamu, from where did you find this medium recipe?? Is this invented by you??

[@ruedesilly]

Thank you Levon Avagyan. This may be the answer to your question. www.osamu-obi.com/rembrandts-medium/

[@mithatkorler7070]

what kind of benefits do vinegar and egg yolk bring to sun thickened linseed oils structure into a medium ?

[@ruedesilly]

Sun thickened linseed oil is highly viscous, and if used too much, it will not retain its shape and will flow out. This emulsified medium smoothes the brush strokes and keeps the brush strokes.

What was better for useability between sun-thinkend linseed + egg-youk and standoil + eggyolk?

[@ruedesilly]

When using Sun thickened linseed oil What is the difference between using stand linseed oil? It mainly appears in the drying rate. Stand oil takes longer to dry. I mix the two mediums to match the drying speed I want. If you want to dry slowly, I mix more many stand linseed oil. Another difference between the two is Stand linseed oil is less likely to discolor than Sun thickened linseed oil.

[@erxfav3197]

I tried to make this just a couple hours ago but it seems to brake and not be working.. Maybe u accidentally made it an oil in water emulsion ??

[@ruedesilly]

Strictly speaking, this medium is a W/O emulsion. The oil content is very high compared to the water content. And basically how to make this medium is the same as how to make mayonnaise.

[@erxfav3197]

@@ruedesilly thank you very much for the reply Osamu. (W/O means water in oil?) I don’t know why mine isn’t working. It looks like mayonnaise but when I try to incorporate into tube oil paint it separates an looks messy. Maybe I messed up somehow.. Do you use only the yolk? I don’t know what I could’ve done wrong. I’m using regular linseed oil (artist grade/cleansed) but not sun thickened..

How do you deal with beading up problem Mr. Obi? When I use that much thick oily medium my upper layers dont stick to lower layers.

[@ruedesilly]

What is “beading up problem”? Does that mean the paint repels?

[@mithatkorler7070]

@@ruedesilly yes . Sometimes new layer doesnt stick to previous oily layers.

[@ruedesilly]

@@mithatkorler7070 I understand. I rarely experience such “beading up problems”, but I think that if the lower layer is high in oil and the lower layer is very dry, it will often repel the upper layer. In that case, you can prevent it from repelling by applying a certain amount of turpentine to the surface to activate the surface and then applying paint. Of course, it is important to first consider the principle of ”fat over lean” in oil painting.

[@busido24]

Hello. Please tell me, how long can I keep your medium? That is, how quickly does it deteriorate?

[@ruedesilly]

It can be stored at room temperature for more than 3 months. It rarely rots. However, if stored for too long, the medium will gradually undergo oxidative polymerization in the syringe and solidify.

[@busido24]

@@ruedesilly Thanks for the reply. I liked your painting technique and your paintings.

[@andrecelsoart9766]

Mr. Osamu, I made this medium following your recipe, but I used Stand Oil instead of the oil thickened in the sun, but mine was liquid and not pasty like yours. Is it because of the vinegar I used?? Or did I hit it for a little while? Thank you very much for all the lessons!

[@ruedesilly]

It can also be made with stand linseed oil. By the way, the process often fails if you are not used to it. For example, if you do not add oil little by little, water and oil will easily separate. Also, even if the amount of oil is small or large, it will not become a paste. It requires some experience. Find out how to make mayonnaise. I think it will be very helpful in making this medium.

@@ruedesilly thank you very much! I'll try again, this time with more patience. I think that was it! I remember adding the oil too quickly.!

[@garrettvitanza7155]

What is the shelf life of the medium, once stores in the syringe?

[@ruedesilly]

It does not rot when stored at room temperature. I use it for 2 to 3 months. If left for too long, the oxygen contained in the medium will cause oxidative polymerization to proceed and the medium will begin to solidify.

[@garrettvitanza7155]

@@ruedesilly I see, Thank you for clarifying! Does the type of vinegar change the proportion? Some vinegars have higher pH lvls which make them really acidic, and I was curious if that is something to be concerned about. Thank you for the wonderful content :)

[@andrecelsoart9766]

@@ruedesilly Can the medium be kept in the fridge? To prolong the life

[@ruedesilly]

It does not need to be stored in the refrigerator for anti-corruption purposes. However, storage at low temperatures may have some effect on slowing the rate of oxidative polymerization in the syringe. In that sense, the effect of extending the life of the medium may be slight, but it is possible.
