Golden Extra Heavy Matte Gel

Golden Extra Heavy Matte Gel is an ultra‑thick, high‑viscosity acrylic gel designed to create bold, sculptural textures with a completely matte, non‑glossy finish. As one of Golden’s thickest gels, it holds peaks, ridges, and knife marks with exceptional definition, making it ideal for impasto techniques, textured grounds, and expressive, dimensional artwork.

When mixed with acrylic colours, Extra Heavy Matte Gel increases body and volume while reducing sheen, giving artists a velvety, flat surface that enhances texture without glare. Used alone, it forms a strong, durable, opaque white film that can be painted or glazed once dry. Perfect for artists who want dramatic structure with a soft, matte aesthetic.
