Tri-Art Matte Gel Medium is, in essence, high viscosity paint without pigment. Formulated from 100% pure acrylic polymer emulsion, it is white when wet and will dry to flexible film with reduced clarity when applied on top of a dry layer of paint or mixed directly with colours.

Tri-Art Gel Mediums have a creamy, buttery consistency and can hold every texture detail, from high peaks to fingerprints. Mixed in very thick coats, They will maintain optimal flexibility. Mix with colours to increase volume and add an ultra-thick body for dramatic textures. They are ideal for extreme impasto effects. Their superior adhesive quality makes them the ideal collage and mixed-media medium.

Matte Gel Medium maintains all of the properties of its glossy counterpart, but it produces a very matte and toothy finish instead. When mixed with gloss gel medium, a full range of finishes can be achieved.

You can also use it as a photo transfer medium. Using a paintbrush or palette knife, apply the medium to any photocopied image, let it dry, and then wash the paper away from the dried gel film with lukewarm water. The ink will remain on the gel, which can then be bound to the painting surface.
