Bring in any piece of art or print and we will coat it with Acrylic Gel Medium, a UV protective layer that adds a unique texture. Acrylic Gel Medium is formulated from 100% pure acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic Paint is made from a mixture of Acrylic Gel Medium and Pigment. On its own Acrylic Gel Medium is white when wet and will dry to a clear, non yellowing, flexible film. When wet it is capable of holding every texture detail from high peaks to a fingerprint.

At Art Source we use Acrylic Gel Medium to give posters and prints texture. This texture creates the look of an original piece of art and, acting as a protective layer, eliminates the need for glass. Each piece is done by hand, so every brush stroke is unique to your piece of art. Our in house artists can embellish art specifically for you! You can also bring in a piece of art (either digital or original) to be printed on paper or canvas. Once printed we can add texture to any size, any shape! If you don't have a piece of art in mind our showroom has over 10 000 images to choose from and 500 frame samples available, for unlimited design possibilities.

Below is an example of a texturized print in our showroom. Visit Art Source today and see more of them for yourself!

The piece shown here has been photographed twice. Once to show the true colour of the art (and also show the area the next photo comes from). The second photo is a detail of the same piece of art. It has been lit in a way that highlights the texture it has been given. You cen see brushstrokes drawn on this piece that mimick the original painting to give each piece of art a unique texture. All of our texturing is done on site by hand to ensure quality.

Edit Re: Texturize Your Art! I have used Art Source for this process very frequently and without exception, they are the best in producing a realistic look with this technique. My clients are always thrilled with the result, they get the look of an 'original' at a price that is affordable. By Rosalie Morton on 5/5/2009 8:10 AM
