Golden : Heavy Gel Mediums

Golden Heavy Gels have a thicker consistency than Golden Heavy Body Colours. They are excellent for a range of mixed media and impasto works and come in gloss, semi-gloss, and matt finishes.

Golden Gel Mediums offer artists many ways to build texture. They range in consistency from pourable to moldable with varying degrees of sheen and transparency. They can be used to create glazes, extend paints and change finishes. Some gels incorporate pumice, glass or acrylic granules that impart unique reflective, rough or absorbent surface qualities.

Gels can be thought of as colourless paint, as they are composed of 100% acrylic polymers similar to acrylic paint. They can also act as adhesives in collage and mixed media that dry to form continuous films with excellent flexibility with chemical, water and UV resistance.

Please note, Golden place a high priority on the health and safety of the artist's studio and materials. They feel the artists should be aware of any potential hazards, so Golden far surpass the required quantity of health and safety advice on their labels. Their products are not more dangerous, just more fully labelled.
