Liquitex Gloss Heavy Gel Medium 237ml

Liquitex provides a wide range of acrylic mediums to ignite creativity throughout the painting process. Gel Mediums from Liquitex add body to thinner paint, perfect for impasto techniques, while also increasing color volume and transparency. These gels have a slower drying time compared to thinner paint films, allowing for more flexibility and creativity. With acrylic resins in the formula, gel mediums can enhance adhesion and durability of acrylic paints.

Utilizing Liquitex gel mediums can introduce texture, enhance colors, and increase transparency in your artwork. The Gloss Heavy Gel Painting Medium from Liquitex is an extra heavy body medium that dries to a glossy finish. When mixed with acrylic paint, it boosts body density and viscosity, creating an oil-paint-like consistency with distinctive brush or palette knife marks. This medium extends paint while enhancing brilliance and transparency, keeping your painting workable for longer periods.

This Liquitex Gel Medium is versatile in its applications. It serves as an excellent glue for collage and decoupage projects and can be used as a transparent ground for acrylic paint instead of gesso, allowing the surface to remain visible. To prevent Substrate Induced Discoloration (SID), it is recommended to wash cotton or linen canvas before use. When combined with powdered pigments, this medium acts as a binder to create an affordable "student grade" extra-heavy viscosity gloss acrylic paint, provided that the pigments are compatible with acrylic emulsion.

You can find the Liquitex Gloss Heavy Gel Painting Medium in our Liquitex Amazon Storefront, along with our wide range of products. This medium comes in an 8-oz / 237ml jar and is lightweight, non-toxic, and dries to a transparent or translucent gloss finish. It is intermixable with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colors and Mediums, making it a versatile addition to your artistic toolkit. Additionally, this medium conforms to ASTM D4236 standards, ensuring its safety for educational use.
