The acicular particle shape of Wollastonite lends itself to creating texture from ready-made paints such as Matisse background for pastels or mixing with Polymer Gloss Varnish, to create areas of texture on a canvas or painting. Mix up to 20-50% Wollastonite to gesso paint to create a superb textured surface for pastels and charcoal. Wollastonite produces a more uneven texture than Ground Quartz, therefore giving a great ground for harder pastels (use Ground Quartz for soft pastels). Wollastonite is ideal for acrylic paints due to its alkaline properties. Add varnishes and mediums to create texture in paintings on canvas.Read more about this medium in this Jackson's Art blog post.

M. Graham Gloss Medium is a crystal clear, water-soluble, permanent final coating for acrylic paintings that will not crack or yellow. Used as a medium, it increases transparency, flow and gloss for traditional glazing techniques.

Gloss Medium is concentrated and increases the adhesion, flexibility and durability of the paint film. It is recommended over water alone because excessive use of water as a diluent decreases the strength of the acrylic film. To thin acrylic color, make a mixture of 50% water to medium and add to color until desired consistency is achieved.

XL Crackle Paste is designed for adding textural effects and impasto to artworks on a range of surfaces.

The kit consists of two parts, a white base (primer) and the XL Crackle paste for the top layer. The primer adheres well to materials such as canvas, wood, styrofoam, plastic, glass or metal. It is not suitable for materials made of silicone. The primer adheres perfectly to the crackle paste and can be pigmented before application.

The XL Crackle Paste is a structural paste for the production of cracks, which appear as the paste dries. These cracks are deeper and wider the thicker you apply the XL Crackle Paste - a layer of up to 50mm thick is possible. Paint can be sprayed or painted over the crackle paste after application - please see below for more information.

Base Layer: Component 1 : Base / primer (small container). Apply the white primer paste as a base coat on your surface / substrate. Apply a thin and uniform layer. The primer adheres well to canvas, wood, styrofoam, plastic, glass or metal. It will not bond well to silicone or materials with silicone content.

XL Crackle Paste: The XL Crackle Paste is a structure paste for the creation of cracks. Cracks will appear as the paste dries. The cracks will be deeper and wider the thicker you apply the XL Crackle Paste. A layer thickness up to 50 mm is possible. Adhesion of the XL paste to the Base / primer (component 1) is excellent. Optimum results are achieved at temperatures of 18–25°C.

Tinting the base layer: The Base primer is white by default. When you apply the XL Crackle Paste on top, cracks will appear in the paste and the white colour of the
primer will be visible underneath and show through the cracks. Use regular acrylic paint or acrylic inks as a pigment to get the colour shade you desire.
Simply mix them into the Base primer by adding a maximum of 20% pigment. For example, if you need a total of 100g to prime your painting surface, you can use 80g of primer and 20g of paint (or more primer and less paint). You can introduce more flashy colours by mixing
shimmering pigments into the primer or use EliGlow Photo Luminescent pigment powders to provide a radiance to your crackle art. You are limited only by your own imagination!

Pigmenting the XL Crackle paste: By default the XL crackle paste is beige in colour. The paste itself cannot be coloured before application, but you can still colour your cracks afterwards. You have two options for doing this:
Option A: Spray the XL Crackle Paste with spraypaint immediately after application (i.e. when still wet). The paste will break apart and as it dries and you will obtain coloured cracks.
Option B: Let the XL crackle paste dry, then paint the surface as desired. You can either select individual cracks or paint the entire surface. With this technique take care not to let the paint run into the cracks otherwise you will no longer have a colour contrast

Golden Isolation Coat is meant to be applied between acrylic colour and removable varnish.

Golden High Flow Medium (formerly Airbrush Transparent Extender) is a liquid medium useful for extending colors, decreasing gloss, and increasing film integrity. Useful for blending with Golden Fluid Acrylics to decrease the gloss, without increasing viscosity.

We generally do not recommend using Airbrush Medium with the pre-made Golden Airbrush Colors because this creates a very slow-drying, potentially weaker paint film, with poor frisket performance (color sticking to frisket or masking films) until the film sufficiently dries. When frisketing is of critical importance, use Golden High Flow Medium to dilute the airbrush colors or other acrylics.

High Flow Medium is recommended whenever a mixture requires airbrush medium additions greater than 2 parts medium to 1 part paint. This will yield a paint system that dries quickly, ‘friskets’ well, and has excellent sprayability.

Additional Tips:
Paint on any non-oily surface. Remove oils, grease, or other contaminants before application. Non-absorbent surfaces should be abraded for increased adhesion. Keep tools wet during use. Do not allow product to dry in airbrush. Clean tools with soap and water. Clean airbrush with water, ammonia/water, alcohol or miscellaneous household cleaners (however, consider effect of cleaner on airbrush parts, such as rings and seals).

They provide magnificent textural effects and will surprise artists and viewers alike. This versatile, precision-cut black flake is made from coated polyester film. It can be used in a variety of ways for effect and texture or as a finish in itself. Use as either a striking decorative effect or a distinctive texture on paintings and indoor sculptures, or sprinkle onto a freshly painted surface. Where a rough texture has been chosen, care should be taken – a hard and rocky surface can scratch the unwary once the work is dry. For best aesthetic results mix with Derivan Gel Medium or Polymer Gloss Varnish (water-based), as anything with a matt finish will marr the final result. Use as much as needed from desired effect.

Pebeo Studio Acrylic Pouring Medium is ideal for creating clean and lacquered pouring techniques.

Glossy, transparent and non-yellowing, this allows your paint to pour smoothly onto your surface in even, seamless sheets and puddles, without cracks or bubbles.

Designed to produce an even film with excellent clarity. The gel has a unique resinous, stringy consistency resulting from the leveling property. This product dries to a flexible, high gloss film, which can increase the transparency and sheen, while imparting a leveling quality to other Golden Acrylic products. Blends with Golden Acrylic colors to produce glazes.

The LUKAS Acrylic Binder Glossy is an acrylic resin dispersion that, when added to acrylic paint, thins and glazes the colour without compromising adhesion. It dries to a glossy, waterproof finish. This binder can also be used to create your own acrylic paints and primers.

Binders play a vital role in paint by binding pigments together and adhering them to the painting surface. Adding this binder to finished acrylic paint alters its properties, making it more versatile for different techniques and effects.
