About Amsterdam auxiliaries

Amsterdam is the perfect companion on your creative journey, from preparation to the finished work. To help you explore new opportunities – and to unlock the full potential of acrylic paint – we offer you the broadest range of colors. There is also an impressive choice of auxiliaries – 35 different gessoes, mediums, varnishes and more. Every auxiliary is made with high-quality ingredients and is uniquely formulated to deliver a specific result. Use with our Amsterdam Standard Series or Expert Series products – they will all match perfectly.

How do I add texture to my background?

If you want to work on a more textured background, Amsterdam offers a great solution: modeling paste! With Amsterdam modeling paste, you can make relief backgrounds that are suitable to work on with acrylic paints. The modeling paste can be used by itself or in combination with Amsterdam acrylic colors. You can mix the colors with the modeling paste in any ratio. Do note, however, that the paste is pigmented with Titanium White, so your color will turn out lighter!

Can acrylic paint be applied directly over Amsterdam Acrylic Binder?

Acrylic binder produces a more closed paint layer. That is why you get an even better result with Amsterdam Gesso. Amsterdam Gesso is available in three colours: transparent, white and black.

Can oil paint be painted directly on Amsterdam Acrylic Binder?

This is not recommended. Due to the lack of dry raw materials, Amsterdam Acrylic Binder dries to a very closed film in which the oil finds it difficult to adhere.
