ShinHan Mediums

Gel Medium provides a translucent effect when mixed with acrylic colours. Being highly viscous the drying rate is much slower than other acrylic mediums. Its strong adhesiveness enables materials such as wood or paper to be applied to painting surfaces for collage. Like Gloss Medium, Gel Medium offers shine and can be applied thickly with a painting knife or brush, as with oil paintings. When using modelling paste blend it in a ratio of one part Gel Medium to two parts modelling paste to ensure an even texture that will be resistant to cracking.

Shinhan's Professional Acrylic Colour Gesso allows you to paint perfectly on not only canvas, but on uneven surfaces such as bricks, cement walls, wood, and hard boards as well. This acrylic gesso is used exclusively as a primer. To prevent deformation of the solid and smooth surface area it dries quickly after application. It can also be used as a primer for working with oil colour, gouache, or pencil so it has wide applications for use.

Gloss Medium enhances the glossiness, or shine, of acrylic colours after drying. You can effectively boost brightness by applying just a small amount of medium or intentionally transform opaque colours into transparent colours by increasing the amount of medium. A transparent film will form when it is applied over the surface of an artwork coloured with acrylic colour and provide lasting protection for the artwork.
