• Faux Finish & Marbling Gel – Also known as 'scumble glaze,' this medium is ideal for creating painted finish techniques using sponges, squeegees, rollers, plastic wrap, stencils, stiff brushes and more! Thins acrylic paints and improves flow for glazing, and is also excellent at creating faux marble finishes as it can prevent colors from mixing.

• Patina (Oil Antiquing Medium) – Designed to be used with artists' oil paint over acrylics to give an aged, weathered appearance. Apply Patina Medium over the piece to be antiqued, using a lint free cotton cloth, then rub a small amount of dark oil paint over the surface, on a cloth also soaked in medium. Then just wipe back oil color with a clean cloth to reveal your newly-antiqued piece!

• Pre-Antiquing Medium – Creates a special barrier layer between your base painting and any antiquing or patina final finishes, preventing abrasion or shifting of the underpainting. Secures base paint layer while still providing a low-tooth finish excellent for continued artwork or final antique finishing.

• Water-Based Patina – An ideal glazing medium for mixtures of as little as 5% paint, this Water-Based Patina contains extra binder so that even the lightest of glazes still remain permanent and water-fast. An excellent way to achieve antique patina effects without using solvents. Simply coat your piece in Water-Based Patina, then rub a small amount of dark Matisse acrylic paint over the piece and wipe back with a clean cloth!
