Acrylic gloss is a specialised medium designed to enhance the shine and brilliance of acrylic paints, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. This glossy finish not only amplifies the luminosity of colours but also contributes a protective layer that safeguards the underlying artwork from environmental factors such as moisture and UV light.

In terms of functionality, acrylic gloss can make paint applications more transparent, enabling artists to achieve vibrant glazes and seamless layering techniques. Its ability to increase flow and dispersion ensures a smooth application, making it ideal for creating delicate washes or intricate details in a painting. Additionally, the adjusted viscosity allows artists to manipulate the medium for various effects, ranging from subtle sheens to high-gloss finishes.

Moreover, acrylic gloss serves a dual purpose in mixed media applications, functioning as an effective adhesive for collages. It can securely bond different materials while maintaining flexibility. When used as a surface treatment, acrylic gloss creates a smooth, water-resistant finish, enhancing the durability of the artwork while preserving the integrity of the colours underneath. This versatility makes acrylic gloss a vital tool for artists seeking to enhance their creative processes and achieve professional-quality results.
