Enhance Flow and Brilliance with Amsterdam Acrylic Painting Medium Glossy 012
Amsterdam Acrylic Painting Medium Glossy 012 is a professional-grade essential designed to extend and refine your acrylic paint without compromising its structural integrity. While water is commonly used for thinning, excessive dilution can weaken the paint film and lead to poor pigment adhesion. This medium reinforces your work by adding pure acrylic resin back into the mixture, ensuring your colours remain vibrant, durable, and securely bonded to your substrate.
Key Features and Artistic Benefits
- Enhanced Transparency and Luster: Diluting your paint with this medium increases transparency for sophisticated glazing techniques while adding a beautiful glossy finish that deepens colour saturation.
- Reinforced Paint Film: By maintaining a high concentration of acrylic resin, this medium increases the flexibility and durability of the paint film, reducing the risk of cracking or smudging over time.
- Optimized Flow and Distribution: This medium improves the "spreadability" of the paint, allowing you to cover larger surface areas more efficiently without losing the intensity of the pigment.
- Consistent Drying Profile: Formulated to integrate seamlessly into your workflow, it does not affect the standard drying time of your acrylic paints.
- Crystal Clear Finish: Though it appears milky white when wet to aid in even application, it dries to a completely colorless and transparent film that will not yellow.
- Professional Permanence: Once dry, the medium creates a waterproof seal that optimally protects the pigments from external influences.
Application and Usage Guidelines
- Mixing: Shake the bottle well before use. Mix directly with acrylic colours on your palette until the desired transparency and consistency are achieved.
- Tool Care: Keep your artistic tools in peak condition by cleaning brushes and utensils with water immediately after use.
- Environmental Conditions: For optimal results and proper film formation, apply at temperatures above 10° Celsius.
- Storage: To maintain the quality of the acrylic resin, store the product in a cool, dry place and ensure it is kept free of frost.
