Acrylic mediums

Acrylic mediums are used to modify the properties of acrylic paint, such as its texture, viscosity, drying time, and finish. These mediums can be mixed with acrylic paint to create different effects and textures, and they can also be used on their own to create unique works of art.

Some common acrylic mediums include:

  1. Gesso: Gesso is a primer that is applied to a surface before painting with acrylics. It creates a smooth, non-porous surface that helps the paint adhere better and prevents it from seeping into the surface.
  2. Gel medium: Gel medium is a thick, transparent medium that can be used to create texture and depth in acrylic paintings. It can also be used as a glue for collage work.
  3. Modeling paste: Modeling paste is a thick, opaque medium that can be used to create three-dimensional texture in acrylic paintings. It can be applied with a palette knife or other tools to create sculptural effects.
  4. Glazing medium: Glazing medium is a thin, transparent medium that can be used to create thin, translucent layers of colour in acrylic paintings. It can be mixed with paint to create glazes that allow underlying layers of paint to show through.
  5. Pouring medium: Pouring medium is a fluid medium that can be mixed with paint to create a pouring consistency. It allows the paint to flow easily and create interesting effects, such as cells and lacing.

Overall, acrylic mediums are essential tools for acrylic artists to create unique and expressive works of art.
