Gel Mediums are, in essence, high viscosity paint without pigment. Formulated from 100% pure acrylic polymer emulsion, they appear white when wet and will dry to a clear, flexible film. Gel Mediums have a creamy, buttery consistency and are capable of holding every texture detail from high peaks to a fingerprint. Even in very thick coats Gel Mediums will maintain optimal flexibility. An excellent colour extender or impasto glazing medium Gel Mediums dry to a waterfast film which will not yellow with time. Their superior adhesive quality also makes them the ideal mediums for collage and mixed media. Gel Medium Matte maintains all of the properties of its glossy counterpart but will produce instead a very matte and toothy finish.
I have been using Tri-Art Napthol Red for a few weeks and find that it compares with Golden and Liquites Acrylics and is more inexpensive.

Best quality and Canadian
The watercolours are exceptional. I am obsessed! With smooth application and high pigmentation, it is a pleasure to mix and layer colours. They possess a remarkable depth and intensity, and have excellent surface coverage power.

It’s a great highlight colour. Bright and covers well. When I need a hit of sunlight, CAD Orange is it.

Great colour.
I have so far used it just for toning my canvas and it works really well with a small amount of paint.

I have used Tri-art before in the limited quantities and colours at my local Art Supply Store and found hem to be as good as Golden Paints which I have used for several years. In fact, I was one of the first buyers of Golden in New York when the founder Harry sold them out of his trunk in Soho and then at a few Art Supply Stores. Now living in Canada, the price differential has been a factor for me looking for a less expensive substitute. So far the colour I have bought closely match the characteristics of Golden; the opacity and brilliance seems the same. The Cadmium Red Medium from Sri- Art is both brighter and as opaque as the Golden. I still have some paint in a 16Oz. Jar from Golden and have tested next to the Tri-Art. I like the results.
