Liquitex Matte Gel Medium, 3.78L (128 oz)

Liquitex provides a wide array of acrylic mediums to stimulate creativity throughout the painting process. Gel Mediums from Liquitex can enhance thinner paint by adding body for impasto techniques, as well as increasing color volume and transparency. These gels have a slower drying time compared to thinner paint films, allowing for more flexibility during the creative process. Due to the acrylic resins they contain, gel mediums can alter acrylic paints in various ways, ultimately improving adhesion and durability.

Liquitex gel mediums are capable of adding texture, enriching color, and enhancing transparency in your work. The Matte Gel Painting Medium from Liquitex dries with a satin/matte finish, appearing translucent while wet and transparent once dry. When applied in thicker layers, the medium will result in less transparency in the dried film. By mixing this medium with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color, you can achieve paint that mirrors the color depth of oil paint, drying to a satin sheen.

This gel medium can be used as an extender by mixing it with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color to increase volume and translucency while maintaining paint viscosity. It can also be mixed with Liquitex Soft Body Artist Color to boost volume and translucency while increasing paint viscosity. Furthermore, Liquitex Matte Gel Painting Medium is recommended as a translucent ground for acrylic paint, providing excellent tooth and adhesion as an alternative to gesso. It can also be used as a substitute for hide glue size in traditional oil paintings.

For exterior murals on rough surfaces, a coat of Liquitex Matte Gel Medium should be applied before gesso to ensure proper adhesion. Additionally, this medium can be mixed with Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Color for impasto effects that dry to a matte sheen.
