  • Our take on the Golden Acrylic Matte Medium

    Golden Matte Medium is a 100% acrylic polymer medium that thins acrylic paint, improves flow and leveling, and cuts gloss for a soft, velvety finish. It also adds translucency for glazing and layering while keeping the paint film strong. It suits painters who want to stretch color and build subtle matte layers rather than a flat, chalky look. Compared with generic matte mediums, Golden's line splits into Matte, Fluid Matte and Super Matte grades, so you pick the body and sheen you want; artists rate the line for consistent mixing and film integrity.

    About the Golden Acrylic Matte Medium

    Golden Matte Mediums are 100% acrylic polymer liquids. They extend acrylic paint while promoting even flow and smooth leveling, without compromising film integrity.

    They reduce gloss and increase translucency, which helps create soft, subtle finishes for layering and glazing. They also strengthen the paint film and decrease surface shine for a velvety finish.

    Matte Medium or Fluid Matte Medium can be used in place of gesso for a clear ground. Super Matte Medium must be blended with acrylic paints or mediums and never used on its own. Mixing Gloss and Matte Mediums creates a custom satin sheen.

    Questions and answers

    What is the difference between Matte, Fluid Matte and Super Matte?
    Matte Medium has a thicker body, Fluid Matte is thinner and pours easily, and Super Matte gives the flattest, most matte finish. Pick based on the consistency and sheen you want.
    Can I use it instead of gesso?
    Yes. Golden lists Matte Medium and Fluid Matte Medium as a clear ground in place of gesso. It seals the surface without adding white.
    Does it weaken the paint film?
    No. It is an acrylic polymer medium made to keep film integrity while thinning the paint. Very high medium-to-paint ratios still thin the color.
    Can I mix it with any acrylic paint?
    It is made for acrylics and mixes with Golden and other acrylic brands. Test with unusual or heavy-body paints before a full piece.
    Will it make my colors look washed out?
    It adds translucency, so colors lighten and soften. Use less medium where you want full saturation.
    Where is the Golden Acrylic Matte Medium cheapest?
    At Artist and Craftsman Supply, for $14.20, 58% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Golden Acrylic Matte Medium?
