Our new Atelier Mediums introduced in late 2018 are the result of years of work. We present them separately from the established Mediums because of their special features.
They all have a double function:
Use with Unlocking Formula for prolonged blending, and use without Unlocking Formula for standard use. The mediums are arranged in a viscosity ladder making it easy for artists to match up the medium to the work that they are doing. They all dry to a satin finish which matches the heavy bodied paints Atelier Interactive and Atelier A2.
It is important that these Mediums form a coordinated approach to the use of Mediums which artists should find very useful. All the established Mediums, such as Slow, Fast, Universal, etc., remain in place see below.
Clear Painting Medium The Most Popular Existing Medium This is the most popular existing Atelier painting medium and sits between the Middle Medium and the Thin Medium on the Viscosity Ladder. When mixed with Atelier Interactive, you create easy to manipulate mixtures that are also useful for edge blending wet over dry, for scumbling and for glazing. You can over paint layers once they are dry, but you can also use the Unlocking Formula to extend wet blending.
