Liquitex BASICS Gloss Heavy Gel Medium, 250ml Tube

BASICS Mediums & Varnishes have been specifically designed for students and artists who are looking for reliable quality at an affordable price. These mediums can be mixed with acrylic paint in order to modify the paint's consistency, texture, and appearance. They are versatile and can be utilized to add dimension, control paint flow, and adjust the overall characteristics of the color. Because they contain acrylic resin, these mediums help to maintain the stability of the paint film and can be used in any proportion desired.

By combining these mediums with paint, you can significantly increase its thickness, making it ideal for blending and achieving a glossy finish. They also work to thicken fluid or medium body paints, creating a texture reminiscent of oil paints that holds brush and knife imprints. Furthermore, these mediums enhance surface gloss, deepen color intensity, and increase transparency. They even slow down the drying time, allowing for improved color blending.

In addition, BASICS Mediums & Varnishes ensure that your paint will remain durable, with excellent adhesion and archival quality. They help your color go further without compromising stability. For a more customized satin finish, mix one of these mediums with Matte Gel. If you wish to thin the mixture, you can simply add up to 25% water - distilled water is recommended for optimal results.
