Golden Artist Open Acrylic Gel is a specialized, slow-drying gel medium designed to extend the working time of Open Acrylic colors while maintaining their thick consistency. It enables blending, softening, and glazing, allowing acrylic painters to work similarly to oils. Available in Gloss and Matte, these gels prevent skinning over on the palette.
Key Features & Uses
- Slow Drying: Formulated to match the extended drying time of Golden Open Acrylic Colors.
- Consistency: Maintains the high-viscosity "buttery" feel of Open Acrylics, ideal for holding texture and brushstrokes, unlike thinner mediums.
- Versatility: Can be used to increase transparency, create glazes, or extend colors without compromising the film strength.
- Compatibility: While designed for Open Acrylics, they can be blended with traditional fast-drying acrylics to slow their drying rate.
- Finishes: Available in both Gloss and Matte to adjust the final sheen of the painting.
- Palette Life: Keeps paint wet for extended periods, reducing waste and allowing for long-term blending.
Application Advice
- Mixing: For maximum open time, use only with Open Acrylic paints. Mixing with traditional acrylics will reduce the drying time proportionately.
- Usage: Ideal for techniques requiring, fine blending, such as portraiture or soft-edged landscapes.
- Cleanup: Easily cleaned with soap and water.
