GOLDEN Soft Gel

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 colorless 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.

Soft Gels are thinner than GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylic colors, are moderately pourable, and hold only slight peaks. Brush strokes dry with a soft edge. They are the recommended acrylic to function as a glue for collaging.

Soft Gel Gloss is ideal for glazing and other techniques where transparency is desired. Useful as a non-removable isolation coat, applied over the painting and before the varnish (must be thinned with water - 2 parts Soft Gel Gloss to 1 part water).
