  • Our take on the GOLDEN Matte Mediums

    Golden Matte Medium is a pourable, 100% acrylic polymer medium with matting solids added to cut sheen. It extends acrylic color, reduces gloss and strengthens the paint film. It also works as a ground in place of gesso, as a decoupage glue and as a temporary varnish. It suits acrylic painters who want a flat finish and a versatile mixing medium, and it competes with brands like Liquitex and Winsor & Newton on the same jobs.

    Best forAcrylic painters who want a flat, non-reflective finishMixed-media and collage artists who need a glue and groundPainters who want to extend color without thinning itArtists who want one medium for several jobs

    Questions and answers

    What is Golden Matte Medium used for?
    It extends acrylic color, reduces gloss and strengthens the paint film. It can also be used as a ground instead of gesso, as a decoupage glue or as a temporary varnish.
    Does it change the color of my paint?
    It is opaque, so mixing it into color can lighten or cloud it, especially dark pigments. Test the mix before applying it to a finished piece.
    Is it the same as matte gel?
    No. Matte Medium is pourable and viscous, while matte gel is thicker and holds texture. Use the medium for mixing and sealing, and the gel for building texture.
    Can I use it as a varnish?
    It can serve as a temporary varnish, but it is not a permanent protective topcoat. Use a dedicated varnish for a final, durable finish.
    Does it crack when dry?
    Golden states the medium is permanent and does not crack when dry. Apply it in thin, even layers for the best results.
