Velázquez Medium is a flowing paste that makes colors slightly transparent while allowing you to build impasto, thick applications of paint. 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 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.
*Long refers to the consistency of paint that displays tall peaks when a palette knife is pressed to its surface and lifted. Long paint is also described as being a “ropy” and refers to a stringy quality, like that of honey. Paint that behaves in this way is said to have long rheology. Short rheology refers to paint that exhibits a more buttery consistency, typical of most commercial oil paint. Rheology is the study of how substances flow, such as liquids and soft solids that flow rather than deform elastically.
Let customers speak for us
They’re an excellent sketchbook with quality paper.I especially like the pasteboard cover which I find to be a very effective surface to draw on.
Very good quality linen canvas just like the other types of linen in your stote. I am your 10 years customer
Accidentally ran into this shop on one of my NYC trips. I didn't know it existed, but while looking through the store, I discovered a brand of paint I'd never heard of, so I bought a jar. It has quickly become my favorite, so as a treat, my husband bought 8 more colors for me, which Soho shipped to me very quickly. Wish I could buy all of the colors! But I'll return to Soho one of these days and will buy the light blue I'm dreaming of....
I love this brand. They are my absolute favorite paints. The colors are rich, I love that the paint is on the thinner side. It blends beautifully. All the colors are wonderful, I wish I could afford them all.
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.
