Using Impasto and Oleopasto Liquin mediums | Winsor & Newton Masterclass
In this professional masterclass, discover how to enhance your oil painting using our Impasto and Oleopasto Liquin mediums. Both are alkyd-based, allowing paint to dry up to 50% faster while adding body, rigidity, and texture for expressive, sculptural effects. Learn how to properly mix these mediums with your paint using a palette knife to achieve consistent, stable forms that won't collapse as they dry. The key difference lies in their finish - Impasto offers a gloss sheen, while Oleopasto creates a matte surface. Perfect for artists who want to build texture and depth without overusing pigments, this session provides clear guidance for achieving strong, dimensional brushwork and professional results. Proper ventilation and safe studio practices are also emphasised to ensure a healthy, efficient workflow.
