GOLDEN - Sandable Hard Gesso (237ml)

GOLDEN - Sandable Hard Gesso (237ml)

Acrylic painting medium Produces surfaces that are smoother and more even For use on inflexible substrates Apply in multiple thin layers Made in the USA Video: Golden Artist Colours - Gessoes & Grounds Golden Sandable Hard Gesso is formulated with 100% acrylic dispersion polymer and can be sanded to provide surfaces that are smoother and more even than those created using regular gesso. It contains high levels of titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, and other inert solids to produce an easily sanded surface. Only use on inflexible substrates such as hardboard, wood or metal panels. Potential for cracking may occur if used on highly absorbent surfaces, like canvas, even when adhered to a rigid surface beforehand. Apply in multiple thin layers, gradually building up to the desired thickness. Single thick layers could crack upon drying. When sanding, follow these general guidelines: Allow Sandable Hard Gesso to dry completely before sanding. Cured acrylic films are easier to sand. Start with coarser grit sandpapers, followed by subsequently finer grits until desired smoothness is achieved. Both wet and dry sandpapers may be used. Wet sanding generates less airborne dust and tends to produce a smoother surface than dry sanding. Sanding to a glossy (polished) surface can reduce mechanical adhesion of paint films. As always, test for your application. Upon completion of sanding, use a damp, soft cloth to remove sanding dust particles from the surface. Failure to do so can cause poor adhesion. Brushing: This product may be diluted with up to 20% water for ease of brush application. Spraying: Dilute Sandable Hard Gesso with Golden Airbrush Medium. Begin at a 2:1 ratio (Gesso:Medium) and test spray quality, as various spray equipment may require additional thinning. Further reduce viscosity by adding up to 20% water. Acrylic Painting: To reduce yellowing caused by Support Induced Discoloration (S.I.D.) when painting on supports that contain water soluble impurities, such as canvas and wood panels, first apply two coats of Gloss Medium and allow to dry thoroughly. Then apply the desired number of coats of Sandable Hard Gesso. Oil Painting: Apply oil paints to 2 or more coats of Sandable Hard Gesso.To protect natural substrates from linseed oil acids, apply 2-3 coats of GAC 100 or Gloss directly on the raw canvas first. Allow the acrylic products sufficient time to cure before applying oil paints in order to maximise mechanical adhesion Please note: This product is designed for rigid substrates only and is NOT to be used on flexible materials, as cracking may occur.

GOLDEN - Gloss Medium (237ml)

GOLDEN - Pastel Ground (237ml)

GOLDEN - Pastel Ground (237ml)

Acrylic painting medium Prepares surfaces for pastels and charcoals Very thick consistency Can be applied to any primed surface Made in the USA Video: Golden Artist Colours - Gessoes & Grounds Golden Pastel Ground is a 100% acrylic medium designed to prepare surfaces for the application of pastels, charcoal and other art media where a coarse tooth is desired. It contains finely ground sand (silica) in a pure acrylic emulsion. Pastel Ground can be applied to paper, canvas, wood or any primed support. This allows almost limitless applications for media typically confined to standard papers. Due to the weight of the solids in Ground for Pastels, it is produced very thick, and does not come ready to brush-apply. To use, thin 20-40% with water to achieve your desired consistency. Apply with a brush, paint-roller, spray equipment, squeegee or palette knife. Mix up only as much as is needed for one day's work as the solids will settle rapidly and be extremely difficult to mix back into suspension. For best surface adhesion, apply Golden Pastel Ground over Golden Gesso. It may also be applied over other acrylic mediums, gels, and paints for multi-media work. When used in conjunction with oil-based media, prepare your support (canvas, linen, masonite, etc.) with GAC 100 to block the oil from penetrating into the support, which can weaken or rot natural fibres.

GOLDEN - Isolation Coat (237ml)

GOLDEN - Isolation Coat (237ml)

Acrylic painting medium Physically separates the paint surface from removable varnish Seals in absorbent areas Creates an even surface for varnishing Made in the USA Video: Golden Artist Colours - Isolation Coat Application For Small Paintings An isolation coat is a clear, non-removable coating that serves to physically separate the paint surface from the removable varnish. The isolation coat serves two purposes:to protect the painting if/or when the varnish is removed by separating the pigmented area of the painting from the solvents used in removal; and to seal any absorbent areas in order to create an even surface on which to apply the varnish. An isolation coat can be very beneficial to the preservation of a piece of artwork but it is not for every painting. The decision of applying an isolation coat is first an aesthetic decision: Will this serve the purpose of the work? Secondly, are the changes created by the application of an isolation coat and subsequent varnish understood and anticipated? These are important questions to consider as the isolation coat will become a permanent part of the painting. Some ways that an isolation coat may negatively affect the underlying painting are: Foam and bubbles resulting from mixing Soft Gel (Gloss) and water too vigorously. Brushstroke texture Change and/or loss of texture Change or shift of colour Testing and practice should always be done before application to insure that the isolation coat will not change or damage the piece in any way that is undesirable. Here are a couple of examples of pieces that should not receive an isolation coat: Oil paintings Any painting done with water soluble media A piece with intentional varying sheens and surface qualities Work with metallic leaf (imitation gold leaf can tarnish with exposure to gels and paints) Sealing absorbent surfaces of the painting with an isolation coat will assist in the varnish application. This will prevent the varnish from being absorbed within the surface and allow the varnish to function as an easily removable topcoat. This is especially important when using a Satin or Matte varnish because the liquid of the varnish can be absorbed into non-sealed areas leaving the matting solids exposed at the surface and creating a dusty or cloudy appearance. To determine if you have a substantial isolation coat, once the first isolation coat is dry, look at the painting at an angle and the presence of an even sheen should indicate an even surface ready for varnish. About Golden Mediums Golden offer the widest range of mediums for acrylic painting. Their range includes gels, additives and effect pastes, which allows you to choose whatever qualities you desire for your acrylic painting: luminous glazes, gritty opaque structures, string effects, glassy areas or variable drying times.

GOLDEN - Heavy Body Acrylic Colour (59ml) Titan Green Pale (S1)

GOLDEN - Heavy Body Acrylic Colour (59ml) Titan Green Pale (S1)

Available in up to 136 shades Exceptionally smooth, buttery consistency Largest selection of unique pure pigments Excellent permanency and lightfastness Noted for their thickness Great flexibility when dry Video: Golden Artist Colours - Acrylic Paint Demo The first acrylic colours offered by Golden Artist Colours, Heavy Body paints are known for their exceptionally smooth, buttery consistency. The Heavy Body palette includes the largest assortment of unique pure pigments in a 100% acrylic emulsion available to professional artists. These colours offer excellent permanency and lightfastness. There are no fillers, extenders, opacifiers, toners, or dyes added. Each Heavy Body colour formula reflects the qualities of its pigment. Colours that tolerate a higher pigment load dry to a more opaque, matte finish. Colours that are more reactive and do not allow as much pigment loading tend to have a glossier, more transparent, finish. Because Heavy Body colours contain no matting agents, the gloss of each colour will be different.  Golden Heavy Body Acrylics are noted for their thickness. These paints have the ability to "stand up" and retain brush strokes or palette knife marks on the canvas. All Heavy Body colours are thixotropic in nature. This means that when brushing or stirring, the paints actually lose viscosity and feel much thinner. The faster the paints are moving, the thinner they feel. Returned to a state of rest, the paints gradually increase in thickness until they are again restored to their formulated viscosity. These paints retain excellent flexibility when dry, greatly diminishing the possibility of cracking that occurs in other natural and synthetic polymer systems. The acrylics can absorb the constant stress and strain placed on canvas when shipped or as it expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. Please note: acrylics begin to harden at 15 degrees Centigrade or 59 degrees Fahrenheit, and become quite hard at temperatures below freezing. This is especially important to remember when shipping a painting in freezing conditions or when unrolling a painting that has been kept in cold storage. Mixing Abilities Heavy Body Colours can be mixed with all of our Golden Mediums, Gels and other paint lines, including our High Flow Acrylics, Fluid Acrylics, High Load Colors, Iridescent Colors, Paste Paints, and Matte Acrylics. By mixing paint lines, artists can produce a wide range of paint consistencies without compromising color strength. Heavy Body viscosity can also be reduced successfully with water. Remember: the more water added to the acrylics, the greater the subsequent shrinking of the paint layer. Too much water will reduce the binding capability of acrylic paints and tends to flatten out their sheen. Some artists have used other solvents, including alcohols, to thin these Acrylics. All of the acrylics are sensitive to additions of solvent. If you require this addition it is advisable to dilute the solvent first with water to reduce the shocking effect of the solvent. In some cases, adding solvent too quickly will coagulate the acrylic. Gloss Variations When producing the Heavy Body line, Golden consciously broke the mould of acrylics made in the past. Most acrylics were produced to have an even satin sheen across the range of colors. Manufacturers felt artists wanted this even sheen to avoid the differences encountered by oils. Each pigment is made to its own level of matte or gloss depending upon its own unique nature. It is always possible to add matting agents and other whitening materials to the product, but once added, it is impossible to take them away. The Heavy Body line of acrylics contains no additional flattening agents, opacifiers or other solids that might interfere with the clarity of the pigments. It is quite evident when looking at our color chart that colors in the Heavy Body line do differ in gloss. For example, the sheen of Golden Ultramarine Blue or Burnt Umber is almost a dead matte, whereas the sheen of Green Gold or Dioxazine Purple is extremely glossy. Some artists may find this problematic; yet for many artists the variations offer the same nuances of color that are so appreciated in oil paints and give what many describe as an organic look to the colors. Without the need for opacifiers we can offer colors as similar in hue as the Cadmiums and Hansas, yet quite different in their ability to cover and in their clarity when mixing. Mixture Colours The mixture colours within the Golden Heavy Body line of acrylics include Green Gold, Jenkins Green, Quinacridone Crimson and Turquois (Phthalo), as well as our Neutral Greys, Historical Colours, Blended Colours and Primaries. Some mixture colours, such as Historical Colours, offer safe and lightfast alternatives for pigments that, otherwise, would be dangerous or insufficiently light stable for artist use. The range is divided among inorganic and organic pigments.

Because Heavy Body colours contain no matting agents, the gloss of each colour will be different.  Golden Heavy Body Acrylics are noted for their thickness. These paints have the ability to "stand up" and retain brush strokes or palette knife marks on the canvas. All Heavy Body colours are thixotropic in nature. This means that when brushing or stirring, the paints actually lose viscosity and feel much thinner. The faster the paints are moving, the thinner they feel. Returned to a state of rest, the paints gradually increase in thickness until they are again restored to their formulated viscosity. These paints retain excellent flexibility when dry, greatly diminishing the possibility of cracking that occurs in other natural and synthetic polymer systems. The acrylics can absorb the constant stress and strain placed on canvas when shipped or as it expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. Please note: acrylics begin to harden at 15 degrees Centigrade or 59 degrees Fahrenheit, and become quite hard at temperatures below freezing. This is especially important to remember when shipping a painting in freezing conditions or when unrolling a painting that has been kept in cold storage. Mixing Abilities Heavy Body Colours can be mixed with all of our Golden Mediums, Gels and other paint lines, including our High Flow Acrylics, Fluid Acrylics, High Load Colors, Iridescent Colors, Paste Paints, and Matte Acrylics. By mixing paint lines, artists can produce a wide range of paint consistencies without compromising color strength. Heavy Body viscosity can also be reduced successfully with water. Remember: the more water added to the acrylics, the greater the subsequent shrinking of the paint layer. Too much water will reduce the binding capability of acrylic paints and tends to flatten out their sheen. Some artists have used other solvents, including alcohols, to thin these Acrylics. All of the acrylics are sensitive to additions of solvent. If you require this addition it is advisable to dilute the solvent first with water to reduce the shocking effect of the solvent. In some cases, adding solvent too quickly will coagulate the acrylic. Gloss Variations When producing the Heavy Body line, Golden consciously broke the mould of acrylics made in the past. Most acrylics were produced to have an even satin sheen across the range of colors. Manufacturers felt artists wanted this even sheen to avoid the differences encountered by oils. Each pigment is made to its own level of matte or gloss depending upon its own unique nature. It is always possible to add matting agents and other whitening materials to the product, but once added, it is impossible to take them away. The Heavy Body line of acrylics contains no additional flattening agents, opacifiers or other solids that might interfere with the clarity of the pigments. It is quite evident when looking at our color chart that colors in the Heavy Body line do differ in gloss. For example, the sheen of Golden Ultramarine Blue or Burnt Umber is almost a dead matte, whereas the sheen of Green Gold or Dioxazine Purple is extremely glossy. Some artists may find this problematic; yet for many artists the variations offer the same nuances of color that are so appreciated in oil paints and give what many describe as an organic look to the colors. Without the need for opacifiers we can offer colors as similar in hue as the Cadmiums and Hansas, yet quite different in their ability to cover and in their clarity when mixing. Mixture Colours The mixture colours within the Golden Heavy Body line of acrylics include Green Gold, Jenkins Green, Quinacridone Crimson and Turquois (Phthalo), as well as our Neutral Greys, Historical Colours, Blended Colours and Primaries. Some mixture colours, such as Historical Colours, offer safe and lightfast alternatives for pigments that, otherwise, would be dangerous or insufficiently light stable for artist use. The range is divided among inorganic and organic pigments.

For example, the sheen of Golden Ultramarine Blue or Burnt Umber is almost a dead matte, whereas the sheen of Green Gold or Dioxazine Purple is extremely glossy. Some artists may find this problematic; yet for many artists the variations offer the same nuances of color that are so appreciated in oil paints and give what many describe as an organic look to the colors. Without the need for opacifiers we can offer colors as similar in hue as the Cadmiums and Hansas, yet quite different in their ability to cover and in their clarity when mixing. Mixture Colours The mixture colours within the Golden Heavy Body line of acrylics include Green Gold, Jenkins Green, Quinacridone Crimson and Turquois (Phthalo), as well as our Neutral Greys, Historical Colours, Blended Colours and Primaries. Some mixture colours, such as Historical Colours, offer safe and lightfast alternatives for pigments that, otherwise, would be dangerous or insufficiently light stable for artist use. The range is divided among inorganic and organic pigments.

GOLDEN - Heavy Body Acrylic Colour (59ml) CP Cad Yellow Dark (S7)

GOLDEN - Heavy Body Acrylic Colour (59ml) CP Cad Yellow Dark (S7)

Available in up to 136 shades Exceptionally smooth, buttery consistency Largest selection of unique pure pigments Excellent permanency and lightfastness Noted for their thickness Great flexibility when dry Video: Golden Artist Colours - Acrylic Paint Demo The first acrylic colours offered by Golden Artist Colours, Heavy Body paints are known for their exceptionally smooth, buttery consistency. The Heavy Body palette includes the largest assortment of unique pure pigments in a 100% acrylic emulsion available to professional artists. These colours offer excellent permanency and lightfastness. There are no fillers, extenders, opacifiers, toners, or dyes added. Each Heavy Body colour formula reflects the qualities of its pigment. Colours that tolerate a higher pigment load dry to a more opaque, matte finish. Colours that are more reactive and do not allow as much pigment loading tend to have a glossier, more transparent, finish. Because Heavy Body colours contain no matting agents, the gloss of each colour will be different.  Golden Heavy Body Acrylics are noted for their thickness. These paints have the ability to "stand up" and retain brush strokes or palette knife marks on the canvas. All Heavy Body colours are thixotropic in nature. This means that when brushing or stirring, the paints actually lose viscosity and feel much thinner. The faster the paints are moving, the thinner they feel. Returned to a state of rest, the paints gradually increase in thickness until they are again restored to their formulated viscosity. These paints retain excellent flexibility when dry, greatly diminishing the possibility of cracking that occurs in other natural and synthetic polymer systems. The acrylics can absorb the constant stress and strain placed on canvas when shipped or as it expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. Please note: acrylics begin to harden at 15 degrees Centigrade or 59 degrees Fahrenheit, and become quite hard at temperatures below freezing. This is especially important to remember when shipping a painting in freezing conditions or when unrolling a painting that has been kept in cold storage. Mixing Abilities Heavy Body Colours can be mixed with all of our Golden Mediums, Gels and other paint lines, including our High Flow Acrylics, Fluid Acrylics, High Load Colors, Iridescent Colors, Paste Paints, and Matte Acrylics. By mixing paint lines, artists can produce a wide range of paint consistencies without compromising color strength. Heavy Body viscosity can also be reduced successfully with water. Remember: the more water added to the acrylics, the greater the subsequent shrinking of the paint layer. Too much water will reduce the binding capability of acrylic paints and tends to flatten out their sheen. Some artists have used other solvents, including alcohols, to thin these Acrylics. All of the acrylics are sensitive to additions of solvent. If you require this addition it is advisable to dilute the solvent first with water to reduce the shocking effect of the solvent. In some cases, adding solvent too quickly will coagulate the acrylic. Gloss Variations When producing the Heavy Body line, Golden consciously broke the mould of acrylics made in the past. Most acrylics were produced to have an even satin sheen across the range of colors. Manufacturers felt artists wanted this even sheen to avoid the differences encountered by oils. Each pigment is made to its own level of matte or gloss depending upon its own unique nature. It is always possible to add matting agents and other whitening materials to the product, but once added, it is impossible to take them away.
