Super Heavy Gesso - can be mixed with color and used as a base for structural impasto effects
Gloss Gel - gives increased flexibility and extra sheen
Gloss Heavy/Super Heavy Gel - both are great for adding body and extending open time for improved color blending
Matte Gel - gives your color a stiffer, matte feel
Matte Super Heavy Gel - gives a matte finish with extra body and open time for improved color blending
Liquithick Additive - increases the impasto viscosity without changing color - use it sparingly to prevent shrinkage
