Amsterdam Acrylic Glazing Medium allows artists to achieve the beautiful transparent layering effects traditionally associated with oil painting while maintaining the convenience and fast drying properties of acrylics. By mixing glazing medium with acrylic paint, artists can create smooth, transparent color layers that build depth, luminosity, and optical color mixing effects.
This self-leveling medium improves paint flow and spreadability, helping eliminate visible brush strokes and creating even, professional-looking glaze layers. It works especially well with transparent acrylic colors, allowing underlying layers to remain visible while gradually building richness and complexity.
Amsterdam Glazing Medium also increases the flexibility and elasticity of the dried paint film, helping support long-term durability while enhancing color effects.
Milky white when wet, the medium dries completely clear and transparent.
