Blick Artists' Acrylic Mediums

Acrylic Retarder — Add Acrylic Retarder to color to slow drying.

Matte Medium — Adding Matte Medium to your paint will cause it to dry with a dull finish, like casein or tempera. It should not be used as a varnish.

Matte Varnish — Apply Matte Varnish for a uniform, non-glare, satin finish on acrylic paintings once they are completely dry.

Gel Medium — Gel is milky white in the jar, but dries completely transparent. Its consistency is very thick, for producing heavy impastos with a brush or knife. Add Gel Medium to acrylic colors.

Gloss Medium — Gloss Medium contains the same high quality polymer emulsion that is used as a binder for the acrylic colors. It dries crystal clear and glossy. Mix it with acrylic paint for a uniform glossy finish or a transparent glaze.

Modeling Paste — May be used to create a textured ground for painting, for collage, for relief sculpture, etc. Modeling Paste dries opaque white, hard, and stiff. (Apply to rigid surfaces only, and in thin layers to avoid cracking.)

Acrylic Remover — Use for removing dried acrylic paint from brushes. This item is not non-toxic, and it bears the CL label of the Art & Creative Materials Institute. Note — This product cannot be shipped to the State of California.
