Gel Medium Also called acrylic gel medium.
A thick, usually transparent substance that is used to alter the consistency or appearance of acrylic paints. Depending on the type used, a gel medium can add or reduce gloss, adhere mixed media or extend the amount of paint.
Gel medium is available in matte, gloss and semi-gloss and some are self-levelling (when poured, create a smooth surface without manual smoothing).
When used on their own, gel medium creates a textured surface on canvas prints that dries clear, effectively enhancing brush strokes and highlighting portions of the art where the application is thicker. |
