Matte Super Heavy Gel Medium, 473ml (16-oz)

Liquitex offers the widest range of acrylic mediums to spark creativity throughout the painting process. Gel Mediums from Liquitex can 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 paints, allowing for more flexibility in your work. With acrylic resins, gel mediums can enhance adhesion and durability of your paintings, as well as add texture, improve color, and increase transparency.

One standout product is the Liquitex Matte Super Heavy Gel Painting Medium, which is incredibly thick and has an extra Heavy Body, providing a stiff, "oil-like" feel. This medium dries to a translucent matte finish and experiences very little shrinkage during the drying process. It boasts excellent adhesion for collage and mixed media projects, is flexible, non-yellowing, and water-resistant when dry.

There are various applications for this gel medium, such as using it as a ground for sculptural work by applying pressure to ensure proper bonding with the canvas before painting over it. It also works well for collage and decoupage projects, but be cautious with adding too many foreign materials that could compromise the strength of the acrylic paint film. Make sure any aggregates used are compatible with acrylic emulsion.

The Liquitex Matte Super Heavy Gel Painting Medium comes in a 16-oz / 473ml jar and features a matte finish, high surface drag, and a stiff, oil-paint-like feel. It is lightweight, non-toxic, and dries to a water-resistant, non-yellowing surface. This medium is intermixable with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colors and Mediums, and conforms to ASTM D4236 for safe educational use.
