OPEN Gels and Mediums are compatible with Golden Heavy Body and Fluid Acrylic colors, as well as regular acrylic gels and mediums and will increase open time while altering their consistency. 

OPEN Acrylic Gel (Gloss and Matte) - has a slightly softer feel than our Regular Gel (Gloss) and the same consistency as OPEN colors. It can be used for glazes and to extend the paints while maintaining working properties of OPEN acrylics.

OPEN Thinner - contains no binders and is used to thin the consistency of paint mixes without altering open time, or to maintain and adjust the workability of colors on the palette without the use of water mist and moisturizing palettes.

Please note: The items on this page are available at the Best Lowest Price Possible and no further discounts can be applied.

Image Transfer How-To

Nearly any gel, medium, or acrylic paint will work to lift an image, depending on the texture, clarity, and color you want to trap the image within.

1. Apply the gel or paint, and while it is wet, place the image side of a printed laser paper copy directly into the wet gel. Let dry overnight.

2. Dampen the paper with a wet sponge. Wait a few minutes to allow water to soak paper. Begin rubbing carefully. Use a soft cloth or scrubbie to remove the paper. You will probably have to remove the paper a few times, for a clean transfer. When the water evaporates, you will be able to see the areas that you missed.

    OPEN Acrylic Medium: helps maximize the working time of OPEN Acrylics and can be used to adjust color strength and transparency while maintaining the strength of the polymer. Adding the medium will lower paint viscosity and create a more fluid mixture that flows. You can also use OPEN mediums to reduce the viscosity of Heavy Body colors and slow drying time.

    OPEN Thinner: is a water-based additive for thinning the consistency of OPEN Acrylic Colors and Mediums without altering drying time. It also maintains and adjusts the workability of OPEN colors on palettes, and can be used as a thin-bodied retarder with Heavy Body or Fluid Acrylic colors. Because OPEN Thinner contains no binders, it does not form a film and should only be 25% or less of mixtures with acrylic colors and mediums (one-part OPEN Thinner to three or more parts paint or medium).
