Exploring the Applications of Impasto Medium
Not only does Impasto Medium add a tactile quality to the artwork, but it also enhances the play of light and shadow, making the colours more vibrant and the overall visual impact more dramatic. Available in The Sydney Art Store's comprehensive collection, Impasto Medium is a must-have for artists seeking to add a touch of dramatic flair to their creations.
How Do Water-Mixable Oils Compare to Traditional Oil Mediums?
Water-mixable oils offer a similar appearance and texture to traditional oil paints, but they are designed to be mixed with water rather than toxic solvents, making them more environmentally friendly. They provide the same smooth blending qualities as traditional oils, but with the added benefit of being easier to clean up using just water, making them more convenient for artists working in a home studio. Water-mixable oils also tend to dry faster than traditional oils, allowing artists to finish their work more quickly while still achieving vibrant colours and smooth textures. These mediums offer artists an alternative to conventional oils without compromising on quality, ensuring that they can enjoy the benefits of oil painting in a more sustainable way. The reduced need for solvents and the ability to clean up with water make water-mixable oils a safer and more accessible choice for many artists.

Acrylic mediums allow artists to experiment with texture, finish, and drying times, offering endless creative possibilities for achieving different artistic effects. By using different types of acrylic mediums, artists can manipulate the thickness of the paint, creating everything from thin, transparent layers to thick, sculptural textures that add dimension to the artwork. These mediums can also be used to modify the drying time, allowing for more working time on the canvas or accelerating the drying process for quicker layers. Acrylic mediums are also great for creating mixed-media works, as they easily integrate with other materials like papers, pastels, or fabric. With so many options to adjust texture, consistency, and drying time, acrylic mediums give artists the flexibility to bring their creative visions to life.
