Soft Gels are thinner than Heavy Body Colors. They can be mixed with acrylic colors to produce a brilliant glaze. Soft gels can be used as a base for wet blending or as an adhesive for collage.
Gel Mediums offer many ways to build texture. GOLDEN offers five consistencies from our most viscous Extra Heavy Gel to Soft Gel. Each gel is available in Gloss, Semi-Gloss and Matte finishes. They can be used to create glazes, extend paint and change finishes. Gels are essentially colorless paint, as they use the same 100% acrylic polymers as acrylic paint. Gels are also excellent adhesives for collage and mixed media, they dry with excellent flexibility with chemical, water and UV resistance.

From Golden Artist Colors comes a new watercolors set inspired by the expressive portraiture of acclaimed artist @alicavanaugh. The power of this six-color set is realized in the transparent mixing technique perfected by Ali. With these colors, painters can transcend basic flesh tones to capture the aura, interplay, and translucent color that appears in faces bathed with sunlight.
The paradox of achieving a seemingly unlimited range of colors and expression from only six colors proves endlessly fascinating - as this palette is unlike that of any other artist.
The QoR Ali Cavanaugh Portrait Colors set includes 5ml each of:
- Nickel Azo Yellow
- Pyrrole Orange (NEW QoR COLOR!)
- Perylene Crimson (NEW QoR COLOR!)
- Sap Green
- Ultramarine Turquoise (NEW QoR COLOR!)
- Paynes Gray
The set comes in a tin with a mixing lid and a mixing tutorial video featuring Ali Cavanaugh can be accessed via QR code. QoR Artist Watercolors are produced in New Berlin, NY by the Employee Owners of Golden Artist Colors, Inc.")
