GOLDEN - Sandable Hard Gesso (237ml)

GOLDEN - Sandable Hard Gesso (237ml)

Acrylic painting medium Produces surfaces that are smoother and more even For use on inflexible substrates Apply in multiple thin layers Made in the USA Video: Golden Artist Colours - Gessoes & Grounds Golden Sandable Hard Gesso is formulated with 100% acrylic dispersion polymer and can be sanded to provide surfaces that are smoother and more even than those created using regular gesso. It contains high levels of titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, and other inert solids to produce an easily sanded surface. Only use on inflexible substrates such as hardboard, wood or metal panels. Potential for cracking may occur if used on highly absorbent surfaces, like canvas, even when adhered to a rigid surface beforehand. Apply in multiple thin layers, gradually building up to the desired thickness. Single thick layers could crack upon drying. When sanding, follow these general guidelines: Allow Sandable Hard Gesso to dry completely before sanding. Cured acrylic films are easier to sand. Start with coarser grit sandpapers, followed by subsequently finer grits until desired smoothness is achieved. Both wet and dry sandpapers may be used. Wet sanding generates less airborne dust and tends to produce a smoother surface than dry sanding. Sanding to a glossy (polished) surface can reduce mechanical adhesion of paint films. As always, test for your application. Upon completion of sanding, use a damp, soft cloth to remove sanding dust particles from the surface. Failure to do so can cause poor adhesion. Brushing: This product may be diluted with up to 20% water for ease of brush application. Spraying: Dilute Sandable Hard Gesso with Golden Airbrush Medium. Begin at a 2:1 ratio (Gesso:Medium) and test spray quality, as various spray equipment may require additional thinning. Further reduce viscosity by adding up to 20% water. Acrylic Painting: To reduce yellowing caused by Support Induced Discoloration (S.I.D.) when painting on supports that contain water soluble impurities, such as canvas and wood panels, first apply two coats of Gloss Medium and allow to dry thoroughly. Then apply the desired number of coats of Sandable Hard Gesso. Oil Painting: Apply oil paints to 2 or more coats of Sandable Hard Gesso.To protect natural substrates from linseed oil acids, apply 2-3 coats of GAC 100 or Gloss directly on the raw canvas first. Allow the acrylic products sufficient time to cure before applying oil paints in order to maximise mechanical adhesion Please note: This product is designed for rigid substrates only and is NOT to be used on flexible materials, as cracking may occur.

GOLDEN - Soft Gloss Gel (237ml)

GOLDEN - Soft Gloss Gel (237ml)

Acrylic painting medium Excellent for glazing and as a glue for collage Moderately pourable Transparent gloss finish Made in the USA Video: Golden Artist Colours - Painting With Acrylic Gel Golden Soft Gel is a flexible medium for use with acrylic colours, and is excellent as a glue for collage. Thinner than Golden Heavy Body Acrylic colours, Soft Gels are moderately pourable. Soft Gel reduces the consistency of a heavy body acrylic and dries to a high quality finish, which holds peaks or brush marks only lightly. It's excellent for glazing and other techniques where transparency is desired. Soft Gel Gloss is useful as a non-removable isolation coat, applied over an acrylic painting prior to varnishing (must be thinned with water - 2 parts Soft Gel Gloss to 1 part water; do not use Soft Gel Semi-Gloss or Matte for this purpose).

GOLDEN - GAC 500 Gloss Extender for Fluid Acrylic Colours (237ml)

GOLDEN - GAC 500 Gloss Extender for Fluid Acrylic Colours (237ml)

Acrylic painting medium Fast-drying isolation coat Increases mar resistance Decreases dry film tack Made in the USA GAC 500: Gloss Extender For Fluid Acrylic Colours provides a unique balance of film hardness and flexibility. Mix 2 parts GAC 500 to 1 part High Flow Medium to produce a good spraying, fast-drying isolation coat. It is beneficial as an additive for acrylic paints for increasing mar resistance and decreasing dry film tack, without disturbing the balance between hardness and flexibility. Its also useful when working on flexible or rigid supports and offers a self-levelling working quality. GAC 500 dries to a high gloss film with good clarity and transparency. It's useful to hard-edge painters to seal masking tape for cleaner edges. Apply over masking tape. Let dry before applying an additional paint layer. About GAC Acrylic Polymers GACs can be blended with Golden Acrylic Paints to extend the paint, regulate transparency, create glazes, increase gloss, reduce viscosity or improve adhesion and film integrity. The GAC polymers can also be used for binding pigment solids for various effects and surfaces. Unlike the other Golden Mediums and Gels, GAC Acrylic Polymers have only a minimum amount of thickeners, levellers, defoamers and surfactants to ensure good film formation. The consistency of the GAC polymers is very fluid, and thinner than other Golden Mediums. Each GAC product represents a unique polymer that offers certain specific attributes. Therefore, each GAC will have its own unique benefits and applications. Mixing GAC polymers should be gently stirred or rocked back and forth prior to use, but should never be shaken, as this will incorporate significant amounts of foam which will be very difficult to eliminate. Foam can severely affect the transparency of the film causing an apparent foggy or hazy quality. When applying with a brush, use minimal agitation and force, and do not overwork, as this too will result in foaming. Spraying If spray application is desired, blend with Golden Airbrush Medium. Start at 2 parts GAC Medium to 1 part Airbrush Medium. When faster drying is required, replace the Airbrush Medium with Golden High Flow Medium. Varnishing The GAC polymers are intended for use as binders, modifiers or additives for acrylic paints. They are not intended for use as a final varnish. Golden Artist Colours manufactures two different varnish systems, Polymer Varnish and Mineral Spirit Acrylic (MSA) Varnish. About Golden Mediums Golden offer the widest range of mediums for acrylic painting.

GOLDEN - GAC 200 Hard Acrylic Extender for Non-Porous Surfaces (237ml)

GOLDEN - GAC 200 Hard Acrylic Extender for Non-Porous Surfaces (237ml)

Acrylic painting medium Increases film hardness Reduces dry film tack Improves adhesion to non-porous surfaces Made in the USA GAC 200: Hard Acrylic Extender For Non-Porous Surfaces is ideal as an additive to acrylic paints to increase film hardness and reduce dry film tack. It improves adhesion to non-porous surfaces. However, some surfaces - such as glass and glazed tile - will not allow for a permanent bond. It dries with high gloss and excellent film clarity, and promotes cleaner edges of hard-edge techniques. The harder paint film has less "pull" as the masking tape is removed. This is the hardest and least flexible of any Golden Acrylic product. Caution is advised when using this product alone. Used in its pure form, it is limited to applications on rigid supports, as its lack of flexibility may lead to cracking when flexed. When used alone it needs to be applied and left to dry at a minimum temperature of 70F / 21°C.

GOLDEN - Matte Medium (237ml)

GOLDEN - Matte Medium (237ml)

Acrylic painting medium Increases transparency and decreases gloss Useful as a translucent ground Can also be use as a decoupage glue or temporary varnish Made in the USA Golden Matte Medium is a viscous, pourable acrylic medium useful for extending colours, increasing translucency and decreasing gloss. It is also useful as a translucent ground. To lower the sheen of a paint colour or another medium, begin by adding Matte Medium in increments of about 10% of the total volume. It is helpful to brush out each mixture, and let dry on a piece of paper to note the difference in sheen. With some experimenting, it will become easier to know how much of the matte medium is required to achieve the desired gloss. Matte Medium can be used as a translucent ground, sometimes referred to as a "clear" gesso. It is thin enough to penetrate canvas and other porous substrates easily, and the matting solids provide an adequate "tooth" for additional paint layers. In thin applications it can appear quite translucent, while darkening the canvas to a small degree. The darkening effect, similar to a "wet look", is somewhat more pronounced with Matte Medium. Apply Matte Medium in much the same manner as recommended for the application of a gesso layer. Apply one or more coats, keeping in mind that additional layers will gradually make a more opaque overall film. Please note: Applying a matte product over an absorbent surface may cause a "frosted" appearance. As the acrylic medium penetrates, the matting solids are left behind on the surface. Over highly absorbent dark passages, such as on top of canvas coated with Golden Black Gesso, severe whitening may occur. This can be corrected by applying a coat of Golden GAC 100 or Gloss Medium over the frosted area, which will once again encapsulate the matting solids, returning the transparent look. The frosting can be avoided by applying a coat of GAC 100 or Gloss Medium before a matte medium is applied. Liquid and low viscosity Matte Mediums should be gently stirred or shaken before use, as settling of matting solids can occur. Use as a Decoupage Glue Golden Matte Medium has been used successfully as a decoupage glue by many collage artists. The fact that it has a very low sheen makes it ideal, as it does not impart a "plastic" gloss to the work. If the whiteness of multiple coats does become troublesome, blend in Polymer Medium (Gloss) to decrease the matting solid level. Multiple Layers of Matte Mediums The application of several layers of a matte medium will become increasingly opaque and begin to lighten the colours underneath. Multiple layers can also impart a greyish cast due to the natural colour of the matting solids if built up to an extreme. If an artist is using a matte medium as a glazing base for multiple glazes, they should consider using Polymer Medium (Gloss) instead for the best clarity. After the artwork is completed, a matte varnish can be applied to give a flat finish to the work. This will result in better film clarity because there is only one layer of matting solids to look through. Use as a Temporary Varnish Golden does not recommend using any insoluble acrylic as a final varnish. Polymer Medium (Gloss) or Soft Gel (Gloss) thinned 2:1 with water works well to establish an even coat, or a temporary varnish. Instead of applying a matte medium over the piece, the artist can use a sheet of matte Mylar to apply it over to allow them to temporarily view it in the matte state, or create a test piece.
