  • Our take on the GOLDEN Gloss Mediums

    GOLDEN Gloss Medium is a general-purpose acrylic medium, formerly sold as Polymer Medium. It thins colors into glazes, extends them without dulling, boosts gloss and translucency, and strengthens the paint film. It suits acrylic painters who want more working time and smoother, more luminous layers. Compared with matte mediums it keeps colors vivid and reflective; compared with heavy gels it adds no body, so it is for flow and finish rather than texture.

    Questions and answers

    What is the difference between Gloss Medium and Polymer Medium?
    They are the same product under a new name. GOLDEN renamed Polymer Medium to Gloss Medium; the formula and uses are unchanged.
    Can I use it to make my own glazes?
    Yes. Mix it with acrylic color and a little water to build transparent glazes. More medium means more transparency and gloss.
    Does it work with all acrylic brands?
    It is formulated for GOLDEN acrylics but mixes with most water-based acrylics. Test a small batch first with other brands.
    Will it make my painting dry slower?
    It extends working time somewhat, but it is not a retarder. For much slower drying, use a dedicated retarder instead.
    Do I need a varnish over it?
    Not for the medium itself, but a final varnish protects the surface and evens out gloss. Choose a varnish with the finish you want.
    Can I use it as a glue for collage?
    It can bond porous materials like paper and canvas, and it dries clear. For heavy or non-porous items, use a dedicated adhesive.
    Where is the GOLDEN Gloss Mediums cheapest?
    At Utrecht Art Supplies, for $13.49, 16% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the GOLDEN Gloss Mediums?
    Rated 5 out of 5 from 3 ratings.
