Golden Clear Tar Gel Acrylic Medium, 236ml Pot

Golden Clear Tar Gel is a specialised acrylic medium designed for artists seeking to create distinctive drip lines and stringy, tar-like effects in their work. This thick, resinous fluid medium blends seamlessly with acrylic paints to produce controlled flows of colour that can be manipulated with palette knives or brushes. Its unique consistency allows artists to pull long, unbroken strands across painting surfaces, enabling the creation of drizzle effects and fine linear details that would be difficult to achieve with standard acrylic mediums. The gel is formulated from 100% acrylic polymer, ensuring compatibility with all acrylic colours, though it works particularly well with Golden's own fluid acrylic ranges. When mixed with paint, it maintains excellent workability and dries to a transparent, flexible film with a high-gloss finish. This flexibility prevents cracking over time, making it suitable for use on various surfaces including canvas, wood, and prepared panels. The medium can be diluted with water if a less viscous consistency is required, and it becomes completely waterproof once fully cured, providing durable artwork suitable for display. This product is ideal for mixed-media artists, abstract painters, and anyone exploring textural techniques in acrylic painting. It's particularly useful for creating dynamic, gestural marks, adding dimensional line work, or building up transparent glazes with enhanced body. The 236ml pot size offers a practical quantity for regular studio use, allowing artists to experiment extensively with this specialised medium without frequent repurchasing. Its versatility makes it a valuable addition to any acrylic painter's toolkit, enabling both controlled precision and expressive, fluid applications.
