MEDIUMS

The backbone for creating traditional faux finishes and decorative wall finishes is Mediums, better known as Glazes. Glazes are translucent coatings that are intended as carriers of color to a painted surface to then be manipulated with brushes and other tools to create movement to simulate aging, or to imitate natural materials like wood, marble, stone or leather.

Golden Paintworks has been manufacturing contemporary, water based glazes for the professional decorative painter for over 25 years. The line includes high-strength colorants dispersed in a glazing medium to maintain the necessary working-time and durability of the final glazed finish.
