Mediums

What are mediums?

Mediums are versatile products that enhance, prepare, or decorate your creative projects. They are often used in combination with paints, inks, and other art supplies to achieve unique textures, finishes, and effects. From preparing surfaces to adding shimmer or relief, mediums expand your creative possibilities and allow you to experiment with new techniques.

Different types of mediums

At Vaessen Creative, mediums are part of the paints, ink and mediums collection. The range includes:

• Gesso, which is used as a primer to prepare surfaces like canvas, wood, or paper for painting. It creates a smooth, absorbent base.
• Coloured pigments, which add intensity and sparkle to your work. These include embossing powders, ideal for heat embossing stamped designs, and mica & pigment powders that bring shimmer and depth to mixed media projects.
• Liquid pearls, decorative drops that dry with a raised, pearl-like finish. They are perfect for adding fine accents and textures to your crafts.

Each medium offers its own effect, and together they allow you to play with dimension, shine, and colour.

Creative hobbies & projects with mediums

Mediums are used in many hobbies. In card making, embossing powders can be paired with ink pads and stamps to create raised, glossy designs. In Christmas crafting, liquid pearls are perfect for decorating cards, tags, or ornaments with festive dots and accents. Another inspiring idea is in autumn crafting, where mica powders can add shimmering highlights to seasonal leaves and decorations. Mediums give you the tools to make your projects more detailed and expressive.

Why choose mediums for your projects?

The main advantage of mediums is their ability to transform simple projects into eye-catching designs. They are easy to use yet create effects that look professional. With mediums, you can experiment and discover new techniques that go beyond standard paints and inks. Whether you want shimmer, relief, or a perfect surface for painting, mediums offer the solution.
