Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between GOLDEN Heavy Body and Fluid acrylic paints?

GOLDEN Heavy Body paints have a buttery consistency that is ideal for working with a palette knife and preserving brush marks. GOLDEN Fluid paints, on the other hand, are fluid and highly pigmented, making them ideal for fine details, glazing, or airbrushing. Both lines offer outstanding lightfastness and pigment purity, qualities appreciated in professional work.

What are GOLDEN acrylic mediums used for, and how do you choose the right one?

GOLDEN mediums expand the possibilities of your paints. To change the viscosity, try gel mediums, which add body to the paint. To change the sheen, use matte or gloss varnishes. For special effects such as a cracked surface or texture, try pastes like Molding Paste. Always choose a medium based on the desired effect on your canvas.

Are GOLDEN paints suitable for beginners, or are they only for professionals?

Although GOLDEN paints are considered a professional standard, they’re a great choice for anyone who takes painting seriously. Their high pigment concentration means you’ll get much cleaner shades when mixing than with cheaper alternatives. If you want to learn proper techniques, working with quality materials can help you progress faster and understand how paints behave.

How can I create a specific texture in my artwork using GOLDEN products?

For pronounced texture, we recommend using GOLDEN Molding Paste or Extra Heavy Gel. Apply these pastes to the surface with a palette knife before painting, or mix them directly into the paint. Once dry, they create a firm, durable relief that you can then glaze over or paint with acrylics to bring out the depth and character of your work.

How should I protect a finished painting made with GOLDEN paints?

Once the acrylic painting is completely dry, applying a final varnish is essential. GOLDEN offers high-quality archival varnishes that protect artwork from dust and UV radiation. We recommend applying the varnish in thin coats with a soft brush or sprayer. Choose a matte, satin, or gloss option based on the final look you want for your painting.
