I've been hearing more and more about artists using Clear Tar Gel in their paintings. So I was interested in the Artists Network post on Acrylic Painting Technique: Using Clear Tar Gel written by Tesia Blackburn.
Tesia says, "The gel is the perfect medium for creating long lines on a surface. It’s also an ideal medium to add to your paints for creating texture. Clear tar gel can also be painted in layers to create skins that you can then use as collage elements for your art....The gel dries to a high-gloss finish, making it an ideal medium to achieve a resin-like surface on your paintings."
Check out the complete post where Tesia offers tips on potential problems and solutions when working with this medium. I guess here is another product that I will have to put on my art supply purchase list.
