Hi there, what you describe here is oil paint. A medium is something you add to that paint, to make the paint fatter, more shiny, better drying etc.
An average oil painting medium: half dammar varnish, half stand oil (stand oil is linseed oil)
For extra fast drying, you can add alkyd resin ( fluid)
In the old days people used siccatives for drying, in very very small amouns.
What else can I help you with?

Why is acrylic painting thick?
Paint is pigment (powder that gives the paint color) and binder (the thick stuff that holds the pigment together). The painter thins the paint down with a solvent (water, in the case of acrylics, turpentine in the case of oils--Adding gel medium or linseed oil acts as extenders. Different issue.) to the consistency of his/her liking. So, the answer to "Why is acrylic painting thick?" is ... because the painter wanted it that way.

What qualities made oil paint the primary medium for painting during the renaissance?
Paint is essentially powdered pigment mixed with a solvent and or binder- before the 19th century there wasn't much choice in solvents - today we have petroleum distillates, plastic (acrylic) and such but back then it was either oil (usually linseed or similar natural oil) or water or pastels that were just starting to be used - pastels don't use solvents but the pigment is held together with a dry binder Paints were seldom if ever available premade - artists would buy the pigment, or often collect pigment from nature, and mix with linseed oil (from flax seed) - each artist would learn paint making techniques from his teacher and perfect them - these "recipes" were closely guarded secrets - they probably used a variety of solvents but the linseed oil was by far the most common - water was used sometimes but its not as effective with some pigments available at the time - da Vinci was one of the pioneers of using pastels and created some nice non-oil paintings
