About this lesson
Covers uses for acrylic gloss medium beyond thinning: re-wetting dried passages to judge color accurately, building luminous glazes, laying medium down as a 'save point' so later passages can be erased with melamine foam, and sealing absorbent surfaces. It includes poured and brushed application methods and warns about crazing and support-induced discoloration.
