 | Impasto Medium is an oil painting medium of finely ground calcite, silica, and bentonite in pale linseed oil. Use it to extend paint without altering the consistency, making oil colors’ short’ and buttery for impastos. Stiffer than Velázquez Medium, this putty-like medium makes colors slightly transparent while allowing you to build impasted, thick paint applications. When added to oil paint, Impasto Medium does not alter the color temperature of the color. It can be thinned with solvent or oil. Depending upon the proportion added to the paint, Impasto Medium does not affect the drying time significantly and is not considered ‘fat’ according to the fat-over-lean rule. Impasto Medium is semi-transparent and gives brushstrokes a crisp consistency for impastos with fine detail. Thin with solvent or oil. | 50 ml | $10.50 |
 | Velázquez Medium is a flowing paste that makes colors slightly transparent while allowing you to build impasted, thick paint applications. When added to oil paint, it does not alter the color temperature. It can be thinned with solvent or oil. Depending upon the proportion added to the paint, it does not affect the drying time significantly and is not considered ‘fat’ according to the fat-over-lean rule. Velázquez Medium is softer and ‘longer’ than Impasto Medium, which is ‘short’ or buttery. Velázquez Medium does not contain stearates, solvents, driers, or natural or synthetic resins, so it is safe to add to oil paint without the worry of cracking or delaminating. | 50 ml | $10.50 |
 | Oleogel is a thixotropic painting medium made with linseed oil and pyrogenic silica. Oleogel is a clear pale amber gel that adds transparency and a 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 to create impasto effects that do not sink in. Oleogel does not contain driers, so it is safe to use in oil painting without the worry of cracking. When mixed with colors, Oleogel does not slow the drying time. | 50 ml | $11.60 |
