G Gauguin, Paul Paul Gauguin was a French Post-Impressionist painter whose experimental use of color was only appreciated posthumously. (1848-1903)
Gel Medium Also called acrylic gel medium. A thick, usually transparent substance that is used to alter the consistency or appearance of acrylic paints. Depending on the type used, a gel medium can add or reduce gloss, adhere mixed media or extend the amount of paint. Gel medium is available in matte, gloss and semi-gloss and some are self-levelling (when poured, create a smooth surface without manual smoothing). When used on their own, gel medium creates a textured surface on canvas prints that dries clear, effectively enhancing brush strokes and highlighting portions of the art where the application is thicker.
Gesso A chalk-based paint mixture that is used to create texture on canvas surfaces prior to, or in lieu of, painting. Due to its absorbency, it can serve as a base for most types of paint. Modern acrylic "Gesso" is actually a combination of Calcium Carbonate with an acrylic polymer medium latex, a pigment and other chemicals that ensure flexibility, and ensure long archival life. It is also used as a base on sculptural work, wall paintings and wood panelling, or for priming blank canvas prior to oil painting.
Glossy Finish A high shine finish like that found on traditional photographic prints and resin-coated surfaces. The high degree of reflect creates very vibrant colors, but can obscure the image in certain lighting.
Glued plywood Glued plywood is a multilayer wood material, which is sheets of peeled veneer glued together. Usually plywood is formed from an odd number of veneer sheets.
Golden Paints A company that manufactures and sells art products, including slow-drying and heavy body acrylic paints, gels and pastes, and topcoats. They also have their own color library.
Golden ratio A mathematical concept utilized in art to achieve a visually harmonious composition. It was largely used by Leonardo da Vinci. The radio of 1:1.6 results in a slightly asymmetrical layout that is widely considered satisfying to the viewer.
Grade The term used to differentiate between printing paper thicknesses, finish, class, category or rating.
Gris, Juan (1887-1927) A spanish sculptor and painter in the Cubism genre.
