About this product:

• The heaviest gel in the Galeria range – of all the gels in this series, it thickens acrylic paint the most;
• Retains shape and volume – marks and texture left by a brush or knife stay unchanged even once dry, making the gel ideal for impasto technique;
• Adds body without any texture particles – thickens paint and builds structure while keeping a smooth, even surface;
• Increases transparency – mixed with paint, it gives layers more depth and light penetration;
• Satin finish – even very thick layers of paint keep a natural look, without an artificial sheen;
• Smooth and flexible – allows several thick layers to be applied easily and comfortably, one on top of another;
• Easy to mix and versatile – blends well with other Galeria mediums, both on the palette and when layered directly onto canvas.

How to use: On the palette, mix the gel with acrylic paint in your chosen ratio – the more gel you add, the more transparent and voluminous the mixture becomes. Apply with a brush or palette knife, shaping the desired texture, marks, and relief. Keep in mind that thicker layers will take longer to dry. To adjust the final surface sheen (for a matte or extra glossy effect), mix in the appropriate Galeria medium.
