Pet Peeves

That's an excellent idea, thank you! I've used Golden products for several years and have never been disappointed in them. Don't have any medium on hand at the moment, but if you'll excuse me I think I'm off to make an order...

There would still be some to find something to complain about.
Females are never gonna be happy about clothing.

Women's clothing is stoopid! Change in fashion every three months. Have you seen the idiotic asymmetrical necklines? Men would never stand for that! And the fabrics, ick! It crawls on your skin, shudder. Colors, patterns, choices! Just give me simple, plain, comfortable clothes that fit well, that don't bind in the armpits or gap in the buttons, clothes with real pockets, not fake ones sewn shut (what's up with that?), clothes that wear well, not that wear out, and I'll be your customer for life.

I use Golden gel matte or gloss medium instead of masking fluid. Super clean transitions and you can paint right over it with no issue if you need to. If you're masking a large area, paper and tape to the edges, then use the gel medium to seal the tape edges and voila!

I do a lot of this when I'm doing abstracts or masking planets into my paintings. I'll cut out a stencil mask in vinyl, seal the edge with matte gel medium, paint in around it, and peel the mask. Like this.

Another example, this was all masks and gel to protect it.

an 8 oz jar of the gel medium is about 12 bucks and mine typically last a year.

Wowzers! Do you sell your work? Impressive!

I do, mostly word of mouth. I don't have a website or anything at this point though. Mostly because setting one up to MY standards takes more time than just slapping one together, and it's time I haven't had to put into it. I can send you a PM with a link to my gallery and insta if you'd like to look
