Regular price $24.99
Sale price $24.99 Regular price

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.

  • 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

Sale price $16.99 Regular price
In stock Low stock Unavailable
Golden Open Thinner is a water-based additive designed to thin the consistency of Open Acrylics without altering open time, as well as to maintain and adjust the workability of colors on the palette. Open Thinner contains no binders, does not form a film, and should never be used alone.

Add sparingly to acrylic paints, starting at approximately 10 parts paint to 1 part thinner. Maximum addition is 3 parts paint to 1 part thinner.

Open Thinner can also function as a thin-bodied retarder when used with Golden Heavy Body or Fluid Acrylics.

The Open series paints and mediums 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 Gloss Medium: has a lower viscosity than the Open paints. 

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

Gamvar Gloss - 250ml

Regular price $39.99
Sale price $39.99 Regular price
In stock Low stock Unavailable
Varnishing is an aesthetic decision but also practical. Robert Gamblin recommends paintings be varnished unless artists truly dislike the look. While waiting 3 to 6 months is best, painters using Gamvar can safely varnish sooner because Gamvar's mild solvent will not dissolve the glaze layers of paintings and paintings today dry quicker.
Water clear, Gamvar is a revolutionary development in protecting paintings from dirt and dust. Gamvar picture varnish is a low molecular weight synthetic-resin gloss varnish developed by conservation scientists at the National Gallery. Package makes enough varnish for 8x10 square feet of paintings made with oils as well as acrylics. Gamvar can also be used for retouch.

With a high refractive index similar to that of natural resins, colors are fully saturated to bring out the best in the painting. Unlike varnishes made from natural resins like dammar and mastic, Gamvar does not yellow with age or become more difficult to remove. It contains a UV stabilizer and offers some measure of protection to less lightfast pigments, depending on how thickly it is applied.
Caution: Follow safety instructions carefully. Not suitable for use by children.

Ultra Gloss Varnish - 237ml

Regular price $26.99
Sale price $26.99 Regular price
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.

Mediums, Varnishes & Resins: Extend What Paint Can Do

Mediums, varnishes and resins are the tools that give artists control over how paint behaves, how a finished work is protected and how surfaces are prepared. Whether you're modifying the texture or drying time of your paint, sealing a finished canvas or working with resin for mixed media, DeSerres carries a complete selection of products for acrylic, oil and watercolour painting, as well as primers, solvents and fixatives.

Finding the Right Product for Your Technique

The right medium depends on your paint and your intention. Acrylic mediums can extend drying time, add texture, increase transparency or build impasto effects. Oil mediums adjust viscosity, gloss and drying speed. Watercolour mediums enhance flow, granulation or lifting properties. Primers prepare your surface for paint adhesion. Solvents thin oil paint and clean brushes. Varnishes and fixatives protect finished work from dust, UV and moisture. Resins open up a world of mixed media and decorative possibilities.
