Acrylic Medium - Texture Gels & Pastes

Fiber paste medium that creates textured paint surfaces. This medium offers a dry film that has the appearance of rough handmade paper. Skimming the product with a wet paletteknife can make a smoother surface. When dry, it has an off-white colour and isvery absorbent, making it ideal for use with acrylic and watercolour washes orinks. It has a thick, sticky feel in the wet state.

Use it as a separate layer or mix it with colours before application. Ideal for impasto techniques. Contains 32 oz.

Golden brand gels enables artists to thin paints, control their viscosity, simulate oil textures, as well as create transparency effects or serifs. Because this product is thicker than most acrylics, it must be applied with a painting knife or a trowel, and can be diluted with water.   In addition, it enables artists to modify colour properties of acrylics paints and vary his or her techniques. Golden brand gels offer many different finishes.   Golden acrylic polymer is useful for diluting and thinning colours, as well as for increasing their flexibility and hardening their films. In addition, it also helps acrylic colours adhere to nonporous surfaces, such as plastic and glass, and can be used as a ground. Available in various finishes.   This Golden brand medium is specially made for airbrushes. It increases the fluidity of acrylics, making the paint flow better through the airbrush. It can also be used to dilute other Golden colours.   Supports: Suitable for most surfaces, including canvas and cardboard.   Drying time: Depending on thickness.   Tool maintenance: Clean with soap and water.   Practical information: Do not store in the refrigerator or the freezer.

Golden Clear Tar Gel is a colorless gel with extremely resinous, syrupy, stringy, and tar-like consistency. Clear Tar Gel can be used to generate fine detailed lines by "dripping" it over painting surfaces. It can be blended with acrylic paints or mediums, offering a full range of colors with which to work.  The texture of the medium being similar to the consistency of honey allows for better leveling and less brush-strokes.  Drying time: Dependant on thickness of application Opacity: Transparent Qualities: 100% acrylic polymer  Clean up: Soap and water General Information: To create thin lines dip a palette knife or other tool into the gel and paint mixtures then move it quickly over a surface. The line thickness can be controlled by the size of the tool and the speed with which it is moved. In thicker layers and pours, fine lines can develop in the surface during drying. To avoid this, keep fluid applications less than 1/8” in thickness and completely level throughout the drying process.  When mixing this medium allow bubbles to rise to the surface. Generally, mixtures with Clear Tar Gel should sit for at least 24 hours to become bubble-free. Do not mix with oils. Paint on any non-oily surface. Abrade non-absorbent surfaces for increased adhesion. Avoid freezing. Minimum film formation temperature is 48 °F/9 °C.  To thin, add water or acrylic mediums.  Note: Larger additions of acrylic paints and mediums will increasingly lower the stringy nature of Clear Tar Gel.

A planet-positive way to extend volume and thicken paint, while extending open time. Liquitex Bio-Based Gel can also be used as a strong collaging adhesive. Characteristics: Increases colour depth and transparency Increases viscosity of soft body paints, giving a thicker consistency Extends colour further without affecting acrylic stability What does bio-based mean? The resin base of a typical pro acrylic paint is made from 100% petrol-derived ingredients sourced from fossil fuels and other non-renewable substances. For bio-based products, Liquitex halved this, replacing ingredients with ones from renewable, biological sources. These come from living or once-living organisms like corn, soy, sugarcane and algae which can be regrown or replenished relatively quickly through natural or farming processes. At Liquitex, every ingredient that has a bio-based alternative has been replaced and they’ve avoided any components or pigments derived from animals. As more bio-based ingredients become available, they’ll incorporate them.

Liquitex gel allows for matte rendering of colours without modifying their viscosity. This medium increases the volume of acrylic paints. Liquitex gel must be added to acrylic colours and retains brushstrokes.  It delays the lapping time and dries more quickly than the liquid medium. It is slightly translucent after drying.  Supports : suitable for all supports. Uses : As a binder for making economical paint from powdered pigments. As canvas preparation. To extend the mix of colours. Important information : Do not dilute by more than 25% with water. Added to paint at a level in excess of 50%, it can lighten colours. Do not mix with oil.

Golden Pumice Gel Mediums are used to create textured surfaces. The mediums dry to a hard film?–?to increase their flexibility, mix in other Golden Gels or Mediums. They also blend well with Golden acrylic colours. An excellent ground for pencils, pastels and similar drawing media.

Golden Molding Pastes can be used to achieve a variety of effects and expressions. When used in conjunction with acrylic colours, they broaden working properties and expand creative possibilities. Unlike gels, pastes are opaque because they contain Marble Dust or other fillers that create a white or clay-tone finish with a variety of textures and properties. Molding Paste can also be used to create foundations for painting either to create texture over a smoother surface, or to smooth out a textured surface. The absorbent qualities of Molding Paste make it suitable as a ground for nearly every painting and drawing media.
