GEL

Gel Mediums offer many ways to build texture. We offer five consistencies from our most viscous Extra Heavy Gel to Soft Gel. Each gel is available in Gloss, Semi-Gloss and Matte finishes. They can be used to create glazes, extend paint and change finishes. Gels are essentially colorless paint, as they utilize the same 100% acrylic polymers as acrylic paint. Gels are also excellent adhesives for collage and mixed media, they dry with excellent flexibility with chemical, water and UV resistance.

Soft Gels (L-R: Gloss, Semi-Gloss, Matte) are thinner than Heavy Body Colors. Mix with acrylic colors to produce a brilliant glaze. Soft gels can be used as a base for wet blending or as an adhesive for collage. (Item #'s Gloss - 3010, Semi-Gloss - 3017, Matte - 3013)

Regular Gels (L-R: Gloss, Semi-Gloss, Matte) have the same viscosity as Heavy Body Acrylic Colors and are ideal for extending paint and regulating transparency without changing consistency. Useful for impasto. (Item # Gloss - 3020, Semi-Gloss - 3040, Matte - 3030) ;

Heavy Gels (L-R: Gloss, Semi-Gloss, Matte) are thicker than Heavy Body Acrylic Colors and may be blended with colors to increase body. Excellent for holding peaks. (Item # Gloss - 3050, Semi-Gloss - 3070, Matte - 3060)

Extra Heavy Gels (L-R: Gloss, Semi-Gloss, Matte) have the thickest consistency of any gel we offer and may be blended with colors to increase body. Excellent for holding peaks and tool marks. (Item # Gloss - 3080, Semi-Gloss - 3100, Matte - 3090) ;

High Solid Gels (L-R: Gloss, Matte) are similar in body to Heavy Gels. They contain more acrylic solids and shrink slightly less than other gels. They blend well with colors and will retain brush strokes upon drying. Available in gloss and matte.(Item # Gloss - 3120, Matte - 3130);
