Golden Acrylic Mediums Demo

Acrylic paint straight from the tube is just the starting point. GOLDEN's gels and mediums let you control everything from how long your paint stays workable to how it looks and feels once it's dry — and this class, led remotely by GOLDEN representative Melanie Mathews, breaks down exactly how to put them to use.

In this session, we'll cover:

• Controlling drying time — how OPEN gels and mediums extend your working window, with tips for reducing paint waste and getting smoother, more seamless blending

• Image transfer & collage — a hands-on look at transferring photos onto a variety of surfaces with Fluid Matte Medium, plus a quick tutorial on achieving clean, professional-looking adhesion when collaging different materials together

• Controlling transparency, viscosity & texture — how adding gels and mediums to paint shifts it from a delicate, transparent glaze all the way to a thick, semi-opaque, encaustic-like texture

• Finishing your work — using mediums as a final layer to change surface sheen, set the mood of a piece, and unify the finished painting

Who This Class Is For

Acrylic painters of any level who want more control over their materials — whether you're troubleshooting paint that dries too fast, curious about image transfer and collage, or looking to give finished work a more intentional, professional surface.
