Hello! I am using Gloss medium multi purpose fluid acrylic to seal genuine gold leaf and then sealing that with GAC200 so I can paint over in oil paints, this is on a stretched canvas, would this work?

@maryjamieson6299 3 жыл бұрын

There is a lot of information in this video that is hard to absorb with the amount of dialog vs. supporting visual example. And, with the number of products, difficult for a newbie, which is I'm guessing, most of who would want to see it. To make matters worse the words and visuals didn't sink up at all when I tried to watch it. Most of the examples showed stirring, vs, what the different products would look like in an actual work of art. Was hoping for a lot more.

I’m learning about these products now too and you’re right. It’s too confusing in this video for a newbie.

I saw 2..but which would be best for thinning out fluid acrylics..the best choice..

@BromleysArtSupplies 3 жыл бұрын

The Fluids can be thinned with High Flow Medium at any percentage. When artists want to use Fluid Acrylics specifically for air brushing, we recommend thinning 1:1 with Airbrush Medium. Airbrush Medium contains such little binder that we recommend adding no more than 2 parts Airbrush Medium to 1 part paint.

Can I use the gac 900 to customize my cotton face mask?

@BromleysArtSupplies 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Mo, In theory, you could use GAC 900 on a face mask, but there are a couple of things to consider: 1. It is recommended that fabric is then only hand washed. If machine washed it should only be in a cold wash which maybe a factor in terms of sterilising it properly etc. 2. Applying any kind of paint to a mask will effect air flow through the fabric. This obviously will vary depending on the fabric and the application of the paint etc. Here is the link for the GAC900 guide: www.goldenpaints.com/technicalinfo/technicalinfo_fabric#Definitions

which is the best for sealing acrylic paintings on canvas board?

@iliashigin Жыл бұрын

Just general purpose gloss or matte mediums. Depending which look you're going for. Glossy mediums make colors pop, while matte ones make paintings more readable under direct light, as they help with reducing glare.

I’m a newbie to acrylic paint. I usually work quite small and detailed on paper. With India inks and watercolor I can create very detailed and fine lines, but I struggle with that because my acrylic paint is a bit thick. When I mix it with water it becomes more transparent, which I don’t want. Soon I’m planning to do a project where I want to paint miniature landscapes on small coins and then I need to be able to work very detailed. Which medium do you recommend? This video is helpful, but it’s also a bit fast and overwhelming, especially for someone who’s new to the art medium. Does the high flow medium work to thin the paint without making it too transparent? I hope you can help. Have a nice day, greetings from the Netherlands.

I just golden high flow or the fluid range for details.

@BromleysArtSupplies Жыл бұрын

Acrylic inks would be a great option for this. Acrylic ink is extremely fluid acrylic paint made from super-fine pigments suspended in an acrylic emulsion. It has the same properties as acrylic paint and are fully intermixable with other types of acrylic paint and mediums. www.artsupplies.co.uk/c/acrylic-ink

When using GAC 900 do you let paint/medium mixture dry on fabric before using iron to heat set?

@BromleysArtSupplies 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, you need to let the paint totally dry before heat setting with an iron or on the highest setting on your tumble dryer for 40-50 minutes.

Can the Golden fluid matte medium be used for painting on vinyl (reborn dolls)? I need to have the paint very transparent, but don't want to lose the binding properties of the paint. Also, is there a problem with heating the vinyl once the Golden fluid matte medium has dried? Thank you

@BromleysArtSupplies 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Shirley, we spoke to our supplier and they suggested that it was a bad idea to use an acrylic paint on the vinyl as it probably would not stick very well. The other issue would be the heat, this would definitely be an issue with acrylic paint and not recommended as it would tend to melt and get tacky.

I want the acrylic paint to be like watercolor. Super thin. So what fluid medium should i buy to get that?

@BromleysArtSupplies 2 жыл бұрын

What consistency are the paints you have? If you have a heavier body paint, you can always just use water to thin it down to make it more fluid for more watercolour techniques. However, using one of the fluid mediums as well as some water allows you to thin the acrylic without compromising the stability of the paint film. Whichever method you use don't use more than 50% water to paint/medium. I would recommend using acrylic inks of Golden High flow thinned with water if you want something super thin like watercolour. There is a useful forum post here: www.wetcanvas.com/forums/topic/golden-medium-water-watercolor-effects/ it contains some answers from Golden about using their paints/mediums to paint in a watercolour style.

Can you use Fluid Matte Medium for glazing?

@BromleysArtSupplies 5 жыл бұрын

You could use it for a glazing effect. There is also a specific glazing medium available which is also slow drying. It is only available in gloss or satin though, so not suitable if it is the matte finish you are after. www.artsupplies.co.uk/item-golden-acrylic-glazing-fluid.htm

is the fabric medium safe i have heard they have a chemical that can cause cancer

@BromleysArtSupplies 3 жыл бұрын

Some Golden products may be labelled "WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer" this is due to the Calafornian Prop 65 regulations. The State of California has unique labeling requirements for products that contain certain chemicals. These chemicals are listed, under rules of the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act (otherwise known as Proposition 65), as being known to cause cancer and/or reproductive toxicity. If chemicals on this list are in products sold in California, the product label is required to provide clear and reasonable warning to that effect. The Act exempts products that do not pose a "significant risk" from the labeling requirement. However, , "significant risk" is debatable. The result is that we apply warnings to all products which contain any Prop 65 -listed chemicals, where such are listed as ingredients on the product's Material Safety Data Sheet and/or label. Chemicals on the Prop 65 List include cobalt, nickel compounds, cadmium compounds, carbon black, chromium, lead and crystalline silica. For products containing these chemicals, we label with a phrase such as: "WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer".
