It also comes in gloss finish. These paintings are done on small canvases, but I also do them on paper and gessoed wood. To attach a delicate material like napkins, I paint the matte medium on the area of canvas where I want to glue the piece, stick the piece down, then dab on top of it with more matte medium so that it is really sealed. Once attached it takes about as long to dry as acrylic paint, and once it dries it's permanent. There are also stronger mediums like gel medium that can hold heavier/denser items like bottle caps and marbles to a canvas. These usually dry clear, too.<br />Hope this info helps!Katie Gonzalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16007073454015257260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4138906682666850660.post-4570274657348128432009-09-06T23:00:49.217-05:002009-09-06T23:00:49.217-05:00LOVE your collages that you created..
