Ateliers Universal Medium is a medium and varnish rolled into
one.How To Use As a MediumThere are too many mediums on offer for
use with acrylics. This medium does nearly all of the techniques
that you could need if you are painting in fast quick layers.
However, if you want heavy impasto you will still need to use Heavy
Gel or Moulding Paste.Decant some of the concentrate into a small
container that you can dip your brush into.You will like the feel
of the paint when the medium is added to it and you will notice
that it allows you to blend and feather edges very effectively
because the medium is not sticky on the brush.Small additions to
thick paint will loosen the consistency while more medium creates a
very attractive glazing or layering mixture which can be over
painted when touch dry.How To Use As A VarnishSolvent based varnish
has a strong smell because of the turps, but usually looks better
than a water based one and is easy to apply.The Atelier Interactive
Universal Medium/Varnish when used as a water based varnish is
comparable to solvent varnish. It is very easy to apply. It gives
the colour saturation and enhancement of a good solvent based
varnish. By adding water to the concentrate different levels of
sheen can be created between low sheen and high gloss.Artists
should experiment with color swatches to decide on the finishes
that they prefer.Apply a seal coat one part varnish two parts
water. This allows the varnish to penetrate and seal the paint
layer so that a more concentrated varnish can be spread easily when
the seal coat is dry.If you want a high gloss finish the full
concentrate can be used over the seal coat and two or more coats
can be used to exaggerate gloss as required.For a subtle finish you
might decide that the seal coat is all that you need or you might
apply another diluted coat to create a satin finish which is more
attractive than a satin varnish containing a flatting agent.How To
ApplyPlace your painting in a sloping position so that you can pick
up the runs or dribbles. You can work back and forth while the
varnish is wet because it does not catch on the brush.This product
is part of the Atelier Traditional range.The Atelier Traditional
painting range allows you to use traditional acrylic techniques
that have been evolving since 1965. The Atelier Traditional mediums
are made of an acrylic binder that dries quickly and forms a tough
water resistant skin.You can combine the Atelier Interactive range
and Atelier Traditional range to create unique and interesting
effects within the same painting.
