Ultra Gloss Varnish - 3.78L

Liquitex

$179.99

In stock Low stock Unavailable

Liquitex high gloss varnish enhances the intensity, transparency and luminosity of colours. It protects and improves the fluidity of paint and its adherence to supports. Of medium viscosity, it becomes transparent upon drying, stays smooth and does not yellow. Important information : For interior and exterior use. The permanent varnishes are irreversible and must always be tested before being applied. The painted surface must be completely dry (between 72 hours and 2 weeks, depending on thickness) before applying the varnish. Shake the varnish before use. For a better result, shake the varnish the day before and let it sit in order to avoid the formation of air bubbles when applying. The varnish can also be mixed gently with a stick before use in order to prevent the formation of bubbles. Apply 1 to 3 light coats, instead of one single thick coat. A thick coat will take longer to dry, may run or sink in during application and may result in visible paint marks when dry. Lay the work to be varnished flat on a table. Do not dilute the varnish as it will then be more likely to produce air bubbles. Use : Can be mixed with acrylic colours to thin out the colour or to create glossy glazes. Supports : suitable for all supports. Drying time : 3 to 5 days with acrylic. Let dry for 3 hrs between each coat.

Pure pigment - 75 ml - yellow ochre

Demco Encouleurs Inc.

$14.99

In stock Low stock Unavailable

Create your own colours with these highly concentrated, light-fast pigments, for use with any water-based paint and medium. Use them with mediums to create custom colours, or add them to existing colours to increase their intensity or create a special hue.

What are dry pure pigments?

Pure dry pigments are suitable for artists who want to mix their own paint or pastel, rather than using premixed versions. They are essentially colours reduced to their purest form, without any medium or binder. This allows artists to be involved in their creative process from the start and to add colours to any type of medium, as well as mix original colours.

Specifications:

add in sparing amounts and mix thoroughly
mixing with polyurethane will create a rich colour but will not change the colour of the pigment; it can then be used to paint and will produce a translucent rich colour
pigments can be mixed with any paint to enrich or change colour (e.g. if you have red paint and wish to create purple, you could add a blue pigment)
pigments can be mixed with melted wax for impasto painting or candle-making wax
simple white glue can be used as a binder for a variety of crafting ideas

Open acrylic gloss medium - 8 oz

Golden

$24.99

In stock Low stock Unavailable

Open Acrylic gloss medium is formulated to a lower viscosity than OPEN Acrylic Colors and is used to maintain properties when a more fluid mixture is desired to increase flow.

Mix any quantity of gel or medium with Open acrylics in order to extend the paint or modify its sheen, viscosity, or transparency.

The joy of Open acrylics and mediums is that they can be worked for extended periods of time which is excellent for blending, getting clean edges, and for detail work.

Throughout the painting process, the paint viscosity will pass through several stages: at first it will be as it comes out of the tube, and the paint tack will slowly increase, in which case subsequent applications of any Open products or water can continue to reopen layers and allow the artist to continue blending.

The Open series are best used in thin layers. Applications of more than 1/16 will result in: excessively long drying periods, persistently soft, higher tack feel, and translucent layers that remain cloudy. If it is necessary to apply paint in thick layers, it is recommended to use Golden Heavy Body acrylics.

Available in this series:

Golden Open Thinner: multipurpose thinner and retarder.

Golden Open Gloss Gel: has the same viscosity as the Open paints.

Watercolor Ground Titanium White -118ml

Daniel Smith

$16.99

In stock Low stock Unavailable

It used to be that watercolor painters had few options beyond white paper or a few colored boards. Now you can turn almost any surface into a toned or black ground for watercolor painting, as well as collage, pastels, pencils and mixed media work.

The titanium white watercolour ground, as well as turning any surface into watercolor paper, allows you to rescue areas within a painting done on watercolor paper! It’s so easy to apply this ground over an area within a painting that needs rescuing-or for working on different compositional areas. You can also lift and scrub without damaging the painting surface.

Just brush this heavily pigmented, acrylic-based ground onto absorbent and non-absorbent surfaces (for best results abrade the surface with sandpaper or steel wool before brushing on the ground.)

One coat works on most materials-allow the surface to cure for 24 hours before painting. Once dry, it will not reactivate. This product can be thinned up to 10% with water.

Clear tar acrylic gel - 8 oz

Golden

$24.99

In stock Low stock Unavailable

Golden Clear Tar Gel is a colorless gel with extremely resinous, syrupy, stringy, and tar-like consistency. Clear Tar Gel can be used to generate fine detailed lines by "dripping" it over painting surfaces. It can be blended with acrylic paints or mediums, offering a full range of colors with which to work. The texture of the medium being similar to the consistency of honey allows for better leveling and less brush-strokes.

Drying time: Dependant on thickness of application

Opacity: Transparent

Qualities: 100% acrylic polymer

Clean up: Soap and water

General Information:

To create thin lines dip a palette knife or other tool into the gel and paint mixtures then move it quickly over a surface. The line thickness can be controlled by the size of the tool and the speed with which it is moved.

In thicker layers and pours, fine lines can develop in the surface during drying. To avoid this, keep fluid applications less than 1/8” in thickness and completely level throughout the drying process.

When mixing this medium allow bubbles to rise to the surface. Generally, mixtures with Clear Tar Gel should sit for at least 24 hours to become bubble-free.

Do not mix with oils. Paint on any non-oily surface. Abrade non-absorbent surfaces for increased adhesion. Avoid freezing. Minimum film formation temperature is 48 °F/9 °C.

To thin, add water or acrylic mediums.

Note: Larger additions of acrylic paints and mediums will increasingly lower the stringy nature of Clear Tar Gel.
