Soft Gels, available in Gloss, Semi-Gloss, and Matte finishes, are part of the GOLDEN Gel Mediums range and offer artists a thinner consistency compared to Heavy Body Colors. They provide various possibilities in terms of texture building and can be mixed with acrylic colors to produce brilliant glazes.

Soft Gels are particularly useful for creating glazes. By mixing them with acrylic colors, artists can achieve transparent or translucent glazes that add depth, luminosity, and color richness to their artwork. The thinner consistency of Soft Gels allows for smooth and even application, resulting in a brilliant and translucent effect.

In addition to their role in glazing, Soft Gels can be used as a base for wet blending. They provide a smooth surface that allows for easier blending of wet acrylic colors, enabling artists to achieve seamless transitions and soft color gradations in their paintings.

Soft Gels also serve as excellent adhesives for collage and mixed media artwork. Their adhesive properties make them ideal for adhering various materials together, providing a strong bond that withstands the test of time. Whether used to stick papers, fabrics, or other elements onto a surface, Soft Gels ensure reliable adhesion and flexibility, allowing for the incorporation of different elements into mixed media pieces.

As part of the broader range of Gel Mediums, Soft Gels offer artists a variety of ways to build texture in their artwork. The GOLDEN Gel Mediums range includes five consistencies, from Extra Heavy Gel to Soft Gel, each available in Gloss, Semi-Gloss, and Matte finishes. These gels can be used to create textured surfaces, from subtle to pronounced, and offer artists the ability to explore different levels of texture and surface qualities.

Gel Mediums, including Soft Gels, are essentially colorless paint as they utilize the same 100% acrylic polymers found in acrylic paint. When mixed with colors, the gels maintain the same high-quality and durability as acrylic paint. They act as binders and vehicles for the pigment, resulting in consistent and long-lasting results.

Furthermore, Gel Mediums dry with excellent flexibility, as well as resistance to chemicals, water, and UV light. This ensures the stability, longevity, and protection of the artwork over time.

In summary, Soft Gels within the GOLDEN Gel Mediums range offer artists a thinner consistency compared to Heavy Body Colors. They are versatile mediums that can be used to create brilliant glazes, serve as a base for wet blending, and function as adhesives for collage and mixed media artwork. Gel Mediums, including Soft Gels, provide various ways to build texture and offer different consistencies and finishes to accommodate artistic preferences. They are essentially colorless paint with 100% acrylic polymers and provide excellent flexibility and resistance to chemicals, water, and UV light.
