Rochelle, it's apparent that Rembrandt had mastered a number of mediums and used them at various stages of his paintings in order to produce specific effects. He may well have mixed powdered stone into his paint. Velaszquez most certainly did mix whiting (powdered marble) in with his lead white to produce certain effects. Contrary to what one might think, it makes the paint smoother, not chalky and dry.
