DERIVAN 2L IMPASTO

This medium is a heavy-bodied paint, free of colour pigmentation (it isn't a gel). It is most valuable for oil painting brush stroke and impasto techniques, particularly when heavy built-up areas of colour are required. Impasto Medium dries to a low subdued sheen which is similar to the sheen on a dried paint film of acrylic colour. It is equally water-resistant. Impasto Medium allows for free intermixing with the Derivan colours in any proportion. There is little visual colour loss when equal volumes of a Derivan colour and Impasto Medium are intermixed. Although ImpastoMedium is not fully transparent when dry, it doesnot appear to alter the richness of Derivan coloursin any way. Impasto Medium is also suitable foruseas a light modelling compound. It can be appliedbyknife or brush in heavy blobs onto the original primed canvas and when dry, fully over-painted withDerivan colours. Do not use Impasto as a transparent glue or size where its slightly milky opacitycould cause some discolouration. However, itmakesa high quality acid-free glue or size wheretransparency is not a concern.
