Acrylic Mediums & Varnishes
Acrylic paints are remarkably versatile and can be mixed with a large variety of mediums to create different characteristics. Gel mediums increase flow, molding pastes build texture and dimension, fluid mediums help control transparency and viscosity, texture gel mediums create 3-dimensional effects, and pouring mediums form brilliant poured color films! Don’t forget a varnish to add a protective layer to your finished artwork.
