Golden Acrylic Regular Gel Gloss 236ml.

Ideal for extending paint and regulating transparency without changing consistency. Useful for impasto work. Gel Mediums offer many ways to build texture. They can be used to create glazes, extend paint and change finishes. Gels are essentially colorless paint, as they utilize the same 100% acrylic polymers as acrylic paint. They are also excellent adhesives for collage and mixed media and dry with excellent flexibility – with chemical, water and UV resistance.

Daler Rowney Stay Wet Palette: Large.

A palette especially designed for acrylic painting. It will keep acrylic paints moist and workable for weeks. Clear lidded plastic tray contains three sheets of reservoir paper and 12 sheets of membrane paper. Stay-Wet works by osmosis moisture evaporating from the surface is replaced by water from the dampened reservoir paper beneath the semi-permeable membrane which forms the working surface of the palette.

It is available in two sizes: Small 254x279mm and Large 508x279mm. Refills are also available.

Winsor & Newton Winsor Canvas Board: 16 x 12in.

These boards are made up by canvas being laminated onto high quality boards, triple coated with one coat of acid-free size and two coats of highly pigmented primer. This helps to give the boards a balanced absorbency and tooth which prevents sinking of oil colours and improves adhesion.

They are also available in metric sizes in a square format.

In this package we have included the basics you need to get going, but if you are making this a gift, you might like to add a gift card to allow the recipient to shop further. We have put together 3 other bundles incorporating a £5, £10 or £15 online gift card - you can view these here.
