✨ What Pearlizing Medium does
Pearlizing Medium is a transparent acrylic medium containing pearlescent pigments.
It is not a paint on its own — it enhances acrylic colors by adding soft, iridescent shimmer without hiding the original shade.
🎨 Mixing with acrylic paint
- Mix a small amount with acrylic paint
- The more medium you add, the stronger the pearlescent effect
- The base color stays visible, enhanced with shimmer
✨ Perfect for creating custom pearlescent colors.
🖌 Using it on its own
Pearlizing Medium can be applied:
- on its own over dry paint
- as a final layer for subtle shimmer
- on textured areas to enhance light reflection
Use a soft brush or sponge for even application.
📄 Best surfaces to use it on
- Canvas
- Wood & MDF
- Paper & art journals
- Mixed media surfaces
Smooth surfaces give a softer glow, textured surfaces a stronger shimmer.
💡 Helpful tips
- Apply in thin layers
- Let each layer dry fully
- Test before applying to your final piece
- Works beautifully over dark or saturated colors
