Which Acrylic Medium Is Right for Your Technique?

Gel mediums thicken paint for impasto work and can be used as a collage adhesive or texture builder. Glazing mediums increase transparency and extend open time, ideal for layering and colour blending. Retarders slow drying time, giving you more time to blend and rework wet paint. Flow improvers reduce surface tension for smoother, more fluid application. Matte and gloss mediums adjust the sheen of your finished surface. Choosing the right medium depends on the effect you want to achieve. Explore our Acrylic Paint, Primers and our full Mediums, Varnishes & Resins collection for more options.
