Painting Mediums, Gesso, and Grounds

Painting mediums are additives that modify how your paint handles, dries, and looks — letting you adjust everything from texture and transparency to drying time and sheen. Whether you're building rich impasto layers, creating luminous glazes, or improving watercolour flow, the right medium gives you greater creative control over your work.
