Add bold, expressive texture to your acrylic paintings with Artway Impasto Medium. This heavy body acrylic texture paste is specially formulated to build rich, sculptural surfaces — ideal for impasto painting and anywhere you want thick, dramatic layers of colour that hold their shape as they dry.

Unlike a gel medium, Impasto Medium is a modelling paste with a unique paste-like consistency that blends seamlessly with acrylic medium or paint in any proportion. Even when mixed in equal volumes, there's minimal colour loss — so your colours stay as vivid and rich as ever, with none of the dulling effect you might expect.

Once dry, it cures to a low, subdued sheen that closely matches the natural finish of dried acrylic paint, and is equally water-resistant — making it a truly integrated part of your painting rather than an afterthought.

• Makes your paint thicker and more sculptural, so brushstrokes and palette knife painting marks stand out visibly on the canvas
• Extends your paint (makes it go further) without losing colour intensity
• Dries while keeping those raised, three-dimensional textures intact

• Heavy body acrylic texture paste — not a gel — for authentic impasto texture
• Pigment-free: mix with acrylics in any proportion without affecting colour richness
• Dries to a low sheen, water-resistant finish
• Perfect for built-up brushwork, palette knife painting techniques, and bold layering
• Can also be used as a modelling paste or light modelling compound

Education Note:

Artway Impasto Medium is a brilliant classroom art supply for students of all ages and abilities. Its thick, paste-like consistency makes texture-building immediately accessible — even younger or less experienced students can achieve striking, professional-looking results with minimal technique. Because it mixes with acrylic paint in any proportion without dulling colour, it encourages experimentation and builds confidence, with no risk of ruining a palette. It's also practical for busy classroom environments: water-based, easy to clean up, and supplied in a generous 250ml jar that goes a long way when shared. For more advanced students, it opens up exploration of impasto painting techniques and mixed-media work, making it a versatile and cost-effective addition to any school art supplies kit.
