Liquitex Ultra Matte Gel Medium, 237ml

Liquitex offers the widest range of acrylic mediums to ignite creativity at all stages of the painting process. Gel Mediums from Liquitex are used to add body to thinner paint for impasto techniques, extend color volume, and enhance transparency. These gels have a slower drying time compared to thinner paint films, allowing for more flexibility in the creative process. Due to the presence of acrylic resins, gel mediums can alter acrylic paints in various ways while also improving adhesion and durability. Incorporating Liquitex gel mediums into your artwork can help add texture, enhance color vibrancy, and increase transparency.

One standout product from Liquitex is the Ultra Matte Gel Painting Medium, a high-density, translucent white gel with a high solids content. This gel economically extends the volume of Heavy Body Artist Color without altering its heavy body. By adding up to 50% by volume, you can double the amount of paint while maintaining color integrity. If more than 50% is added, the gel acts as a weak tinting white, preserving the opacity of the color better than a clear gel medium. The Ultra Matte Gel dries to a matte finish, providing colors with a matte sheen and a gouache-like appearance.

There are various applications for the Ultra Matte Gel, such as using it as an extender when running out of a mixed Heavy Body Artist Color during painting. By adding an equal amount of Ultra Matte Gel to the color, you can continue painting without needing to remix, maintaining the color and opacity while potentially lightening the hue. Additionally, the gel can be mixed into Heavy Body Artist Color during the underpainting stage to double the amount of color.

The Ultra Matte Gel is lightweight, non-toxic, and comes in an 8-oz / 237ml jar. It is intermixable with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colors and Mediums, providing endless possibilities for artistic expression. This product conforms to ASTM D4236 standards, making it safe for educational use. Visit the Liquitex Amazon Storefront for a full range of products.
