All these auxiliaries can be combined with each other for even more creative possibilities

I PRIMERS: GESSO

Gesso is a universal primer used to prepare painting surfaces such as canvas, cardboard, wood... Its matte surface improves the adhesion of acrylic or oil paint layers, and is applied on a clean, non-greasy surface using a brush, knife or roller. It can be sanded after application and provides a perfectly smooth surface.

ORIGIN ACRYLICS WHITE GESSO

White covering and adhesive primer to prepare surfaces for painting. Apply on any clean, non-greasy surface. Matt finish, fast drying.

ORIGIN ACRYLICS WHITE GESSO ONE COAT

EXTRA white covering and adhesive primer to prepare surfaces for painting in one coat. It has a higher concentration of titanium white than ORIGIN ACRYLICS White Gesso. Apply on any clean, non-greasy surface. Matt finish, fast drying.

ORIGIN ACRYLICS GESSO BLACK

EXTRA black covering and adhesive primer to prepare surfaces for painting in one coat. Apply on clean, non-greasy surfaces. Matt finish, fast drying.

II. MEDIUMS

Acrylic binder more fluid than a gel, with multiple uses: alone or mixed with colour, in all proportions and at all stages of your work.

BINDEX 3IN1 ORIGIN ACRYLICS

Non-yellowing 3 in 1 binder for the preparation of acrylic colours (mixed with acrylic colours, giving them transparency and depth without compromising them), glazes, collages, inlays, image transfers, hardening paper objects , ... Translucent, satin matt finish. Fast drying, dilute with water.

ORIGIN ACRYLICS TRANSPARENT FLUID MEDIUM

Non-yellowing medium to increase transparency and thin colours to achieve the desired viscosity without compromising the paint (unlike adding water).

An ideal mix for the pouring technique would be: 1 part medium / 1 part colour / 1.5 parts water, then set aside for 1 hour before pouring.

Translucent, satin finish. It can be used on dry colour as a satin topcoat

III. GELS

More consistent than the medium.

ORIGIN ACRYLICS PHOSPHORESCENT GEL

Phosphorescent gel to produce a glow in the dark effect. Translucent, satin matt finish after drying. For best results, apply alone and thickly with a painting knife.

SLOW DRYING GEL ORIGIN ACRYLICS

Origin Acrylics slow-drying gel slows down the drying time of acrylic colours. Mixing a maximum of 20% retarder with the colours increases the drying time by around 50%, without altering the properties of the colours. An overdose of retarder will not have the effect of further delaying drying, but may lead to a deterioration in the paint's characteristics and a lack of drying (sticky surface).

IV. MODELLING PASTE

Modelling paste is a ready-to-use acrylic paste for creating reliefs and impasto, especially for creating dimensions. It is applied with a painting knife, and may be mixed with colours when moist that will slightly deteriorate it. It retains the imprint of the tool and can be sculpted, painted and sanded when dry. After drying, it keeps its volume perfectly, remains opaque and does not crack.

Mixing the two modelling pastes achieves a moderate viscosity.

ORIGIN ACRYLICS MODELLING PASTE

Opaque modelling paste to create relief. It can be used alone or mixed with acrylic colour. Keeps its volume and does not crack when drying.

ORIGIN ACRYLICS THICK MODELLING PASTE

Thick and opaque heavy modelling paste for creating reliefs and impasto. It is more stiff than Studio Green modelling clay. It can be used alone or mixed with acrylic colour. Keeps its volume and does not crack when drying.

V. VARNISHES

The varnishes protect the artwork and give it the desired finish. After a minimum of 24 hours drying time, and once the work is completely dry to the touch, apply Origin Acrylics varnishes. When the colour is applied thickly, it is advisable to wait 1 to 2 weeks before varnishing the work.

You can obtain the desired finish by mixing Origin Acrylics matt and gloss varnishes. For a satin finish, mix 3 parts gloss varnish to 1 part matt varnish.
