GOLDEN Mediums and Additives offer artists infinite control for changing acrylic colours. They range in consistency from pourable to moldable and may be used to create glazes, extend paints, build texture, change finishes and work as a gluing agent for collages. Golden Varnishes offer several advantages to artists concerned about the longevity of their artwork: they are removable; they offer protection from UltraViolet (UV) rays; varnishing consolidates the artwork with an even sheen. Gloss Varnishes can intensify colours while Matte or Satin Varnishes soften the colour and minimize glare.
Golden Retarder is an additive used to increase the open (drying) time of acrylic paints. Useful for "wet in wet" techniques and reducing skinning on the palette.

Golden Fluid Matte Medium is a liquid medium useful for extending colours, decreasing gloss and increasing film integrity. Useful for blending with Golden Fluid Acrylics to decrease the gloss, without increasing viscosity.
Golden Matte Medium is a general purpose, pourable medium useful for extending colours, decreasing gloss and increasing film integrity. Can be used as a ground, instead of gesso.
Golden Polymer Medium (Gloss) is a general purpose liquid medium useful for creating glazes, extending colours, enhancing gloss and translucency and increasing film integrity. Has a unique feel that is much more oil-like or resinous in nature and that promotes flow and levelling.
