Mediums
Acrylic mediums are invaluable tools that expand the versatility of your paints and allow you to achieve a variety of effects. Here's why you should consider incorporating them into your work:
- Customise Drying Times: Mediums like thinners extend drying times, perfect for blending, shading, and glazing—ideal for artists who enjoy oil painting techniques but prefer acrylics.
- Control Consistency: Achieve your desired paint thickness or flow. For instance, mix Heavy Body Acrylics with a medium for smoother application, or enhance the fluidity of Fluid Acrylics for delicate glazes and washes.
- Fine-Tune Finishes: Mediums allow you to create matte, satin, or glossy finishes, helping to unify the sheen across your artwork without compromising the paint's natural characteristics.
- Experiment with Techniques: From impasto to pouring, mediums enable you to explore a wider range of applications, whether you're building texture or creating smooth, flowing effects.
Mediums are the secret to unlocking the full potential of acrylic paints, offering flexibility, control, and creative freedom.
