CeraColors Gel Medium Sampler – Waterborne Wax Mediums for Artists
A gel medium is useful for creating glazes, extending colors, and increasing translucency, but with a heavy body that can form thick layers. Sample size: 1.5 fl oz.
Add Ceracolors Gel to Ceracolors paint for thick, impasto-like applications of paint. Pastes differ from gels in that they are opaque and may contain calcite (chalk), bentonite (diatomaceous earth), fibers, clay, or other fillers, resulting in a white finish with a variety of textures and properties. Pastes can also be used to create textured foundations for painting.
What Ceracolors Gel Can Do
Ceracolors Mediums provide artists with unlimited control over Ceracolors water-soluble wax colors. Use mediums to control transparency, viscosity, and consistency. Ceracolors Mediums can be thought of as colorless wax paints, as they are composed of the same or similar waxes as Ceracolors paints. They are the “glue” or binder that dry to form continuous, durable films.
This section lists some typical uses of Fluid Medium, but it is not intended to be exhaustive. New and innovative ways to effectively utilize these products are continually being discovered.
Extend Paint: Adding Gel Medium to Ceracolors can increase transparency, as well as extend paint. Extending Ceracolors with Gel Medium allows the paint to go further while maintaining a much higher quality than “student grade” paints. Gel Medium can be added to Ceracolors in any amount desired.
Increase Transparency: Adding Gel Medium to paint can increase the transparency of Ceracolors.
Alter Consistency: Mixing Gel Medium into Ceracolors will thicken the paint and provide additional body. All Ceracolors mediums are compatible with the entire family of Ceracolors products.
Glue or Adhere: Gel Medium can be used as an adhesive in collage when working with porous and non-water-sensitive materials. Other materials, such as glass, metals, and plastics, should be avoided.
Make Paint: Gel Medium can be used as a binder when creating paints from dry pigments.
