The Camel Acrylic Gel Medium 100ml is a versatile and translucent paste used in acrylic painting to modify the properties of acrylic colors. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and uses:  

Key Features:

• Translucent Paste: It has a light, translucent gel consistency.  
• Impasto: Ideal for creating thick applications and impasto effects, allowing for textured brushstrokes that hold their shape.  
• Glazing: Increases the transparency of acrylic paints, making them suitable for glazing techniques, where thin, transparent layers of color are applied over others.  
• Texturing: Can be used to build texture on the canvas surface, either mixed with paint or applied directly.
• Increases Transparency and Gloss: When mixed with acrylic paints, it enhances their transparency and adds a glossy finish.
• Uniform Drying: It facilitates uniform drying of acrylic colors, especially in thick applications like impasto. Acrylics tend to dry faster on the surface, which can lead to cracking in thicker layers. The gel medium helps ensure all layers dry at a similar rate.
• Water-Resistant Finish: Once dry, it creates a water-resistant film.
• Binder: As an acrylic polymer, it acts as a binder, ensuring the paint adheres well to the surface.
• 100% Vegan: This product is confirmed to be vegan.  

How to Use:

• Mix with Acrylic Paints: Add the gel medium directly to your acrylic paints on your palette to achieve the desired consistency, transparency, and texture. The more medium you add, the more transparent the paint will become.
• Apply Directly to Surface: You can apply the gel medium directly to the canvas or other painting surface to create texture before painting over it, or mix it with pigment powder to create your own inexpensive, high-viscosity matte paint.
• For Impasto: Use a palette knife or stiff brush to apply a thick mixture of paint and gel medium to create bold, textured strokes.  
• For Glazing: Mix a small amount of paint with a larger amount of gel medium to create a transparent wash of color. Apply in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next.
