🎨 Take your artwork to the next level with Pébéo Acrylic Mediums!

Whether you’re preparing a canvas, building texture or experimenting with exciting effects, Pébéo mediums are the perfect addition to your creative toolkit.

✨ Available in a range of sizes, both in-store and online at The Art Shop Skipton.

🖌️ Top Tips:

Gesso – Prime your canvas, paper or board for a smoother painting surface. It improves paint adhesion and helps your colours appear more vibrant.

Modelling Paste – Build dramatic textures and 3D effects with a palette knife or brush. Once dry, paint over it with acrylics for incredible depth.

Bindex – A versatile acrylic binder that’s ideal for collage, mixed media, making your own acrylic glazes, or increasing adhesion when mixing with pigments and textured materials.

Sand Gels – Add realistic sandy textures and interesting surface effects to landscapes, seascapes and mixed media artwork. Great for creating tactile finishes with ease.

Pop into The Art Shop Skipton to explore the full Pébéo range, or shop online and find the perfect medium for your next masterpiece!
