Golden Acrylic Mediums
Mediums

Polymer Medium (Gloss)

A general purpose liquid medium useful for creating glazes, extending colours, enhancing gloss and translucency and increasing film integrity. Its unique feel is oil-like or resinous in nature, and promotes flow and levelling.

Matte Medium

A general purpose, pourable medium useful for extending colours, decreasing gloss and increasing film integrity. Can be used as a ground instead of gesso.

Fluid Matte Medium

A liquid medium useful for extending colours, decreasing gloss and increasing film integrity. Useful for blending with Golden Fluid Acrylics to decrease the gloss without increasing viscosity.

Acrylic Glazing Liquid (Gloss & Satin)

Golden Acrylic Glazing Liquid (AGL) is a 100% Acrylic, water-based emulsion, developed to be used with waterborne paint systems for interior glazing applications. Acrylic Glazing Liquid can be used for a wide variety of techniques, which require longer open times, including:

Use this product in the same manner as an oil painter uses linseed oil and turpentine. Possible uses of Acrylic Glazing Liquid techniques:

•   Slow drying colour glazes.
•   Thinning medium for better brushability.
•   Pre-glazing before paint application.
•   Smoother wet-in-wet blending.

Airbrush Medium

Modifies the Golden Fluid Acrylics for airbrush/spray application. Blends easily with the Fluid Acrylics to yield a paint mixture with the proper viscosity for airbrushing. Effectively decreases clogging and tip build-up during spraying, eliminating the largest drawback to airbrushing with acrylics. While designed with the Fluid Acrylics in mind, Airbrush Medium will also reduce the Heavy Body, Matte, High Load, Iridescent/Interference and Fluorescent Acrylics and Golden Mediums and Gessos for spray applications.

Silk-Screen Medium

A water-borne system designed to blend with acrylic paints for silk-screen application. Increases working time and retards paint from drying in the screen. Safe to use with minimal odour. Mix 1 part Silk-Screen Medium with 1 part Golden Acrylic colours (Heavy Body, Matte or Fluid) and use this mixture to screen with. The Silk-Screen Medium is not designed to impart opacity, hence the opacity of the mixture will be determined by the nature of colour being used and the ratio of paint to Medium used.

Retarder

Golden Retarder is an additive used to increase the open (drying) time of acrylic paints. Useful for "wet in wet" techniques and reducing skinning on the palette.

Acrylic Flow Release

Golden Acrylic Flow Release is a surfactant. A surfactant is a concentrated surface-active liquid which reduces surface tension, thus improving wetting and increasing the flow of acrylic waterborne paints. Acrylic Flow Release is very useful for staining techniques, as it dramatically reduces the surface tension between the stain (paint/water) and the support. Certain supports, especially raw canvas, are inherently water repelling in nature nd require the use of such a surface-active agent to allow the stain to wet and penetrate into the support. Golden Acrylic Flow Release also improves flow for brushing acrylic paints. This allows for improved levelling, and reduces bead up due to surface tension.
