A paste medium of finely ground calcite in bodied linseed oil. Use to extend paint and form impastos while making paint longer. Softer than Impasto Medium, Velázquez Medium makes colors slightly transparent, allowing greater control over tints without whites. Can be thinned with solvent or oil. Solvent free.
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 “ropy” and refers to a stringy quality, like 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 studies how substances flow, such as liquids and soft solids, that flow rather than deform elastically.
