Mediums included in the Rublev Colours Paste Mediums Set
| Medium | Medium Name | Tube Size | Price |
 | 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. Impasto Medium does not alter the color temperature when added to oil paint. 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. Semi-transparent. Gives paint 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. 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 |
 | Underpainting Transparent Base is a fast-drying, alkyd paste medium, similar to Velázquez Medium in handling properties, but much faster drying. This alkyd paste medium consists of finely ground calcite (ground calcium carbonate) and wollastonite in alkyd with mineral spirits. Use it to extend paint and form impastos while making paint longer. It makes colors slightly transparent, allowing greater control over tints without using whites. Dries to a matte finish. Does not contain driers. Use Underpainting Transparent Base in the underlayers of a painting or as a medium in alla prima (direct) painting. Not all painters apply underpaintings, and it seems that those who do want it to dry fast so they can begin coloring in the overpainting. Natural Pigments has a simple solution that does not require buying a whole new set of colors just for the underpainting. | 50 ml | $14.90 |
