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 impasto, thick applications of paint. When added to oil paint, Impasto Medium does not alter its color temperature. It can be thinned with solvent or oil. Depending upon the proportion added to paint, Impasto Medium does not affect the drying time significantly.
Impasto 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.
Let customers speak for us
Soho, and my contact Walter, couldn’t be friendlier, more accommodating, nor go to any greater lengths to find the often rare or plain weird materials I ask for.
Smooth as a baby’s bottom, and the pigmentation of the long stroke didn’t dwindle despite the light load.
I went out of my way to get this sketchbook. I got one from you before and then I couldn't find them once I filled the pages. Its the greatest sketchbook.
Friendly professional staff, excellent customer service, and a suburb selection of top notch art supplies. Shopping was breeze, items well packaged and delivered safely. Thank you!
High quality. Solution contains everything needed to make excellent, consistent and lasting watercolors from dry pigments. Fair price. Great customer service. I paint full time, have used many mediums, and recommend this product.
I like the store. Only issue I have is not knowing what is in stock or not in stock till after I make the purchase.
Great online resource. I just wish art supplies weren't so darn expensive.
Smooth line, color nicely saturated, and lovely enough to spread on a cracker.—Peter Lewis
Absolutely the best team to work with. Attentive, personable and willing to work with you through details and questions until resolved. Love these guys.
The perfect sketchbook: binding: German; paper: Italian; size: perfect.
