Clear Tar Gel: Nothing Compares To It!
Clear tar gel is an interesting medium that you can use when working with acrylic paint. When you go to the art supply shop and see that wall of mediums in uniform containers it's pretty hard to imagine that they are all so different. Sneaky mediums !
1. Clear tar gel is whitish when wet but dries clear, a property to many acrylic mediums.
2. This medium also self-levels, it levels out after being applied.
3. It has a glossy finish.
