Rublev Colours Impasto Medium 8oz
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 Velazquez 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 its color temperature. It can be thinned with solvent or oil. Impasto Medium does not affect the drying time significantly depending on the proportion added to the paint.
Impasto Medium does not contain stearates, solvents, driers, or natural or synthetic resins, so it is safe to add to oil paint without worrying about cracking or delaminating.
Directions: Mix Impasto Medium directly into your paint right on the palette. Impasto Medium is a great way to add calcite to your own paint. Add Impasto Medium and linseed oil directly to dry pigment powder until a stiff paste is obtained (almost the consistency of putty). Grind the paste with a muller on a flat surface before storing it in a collapsible tube. Some of its properties will be temporarily lost when grinding Impasto Medium with a muller but should be restored when allowed to stand.
