Matte Super Heavy Gel Medium by Liquitex, 946ml (32-oz)

Liquitex offers a wide range of acrylic mediums that aim to inspire creativity throughout the painting process. Gel Mediums by Liquitex are designed to add body to thinner paint, allowing for impasto techniques, while also extending color volume and adding transparency. These gels have a slower drying time compared to thinner paint films, providing artists with more time to work on their pieces. Additionally, the gel mediums can modify acrylic paints in various ways and contain acrylic resins that enhance adhesion and durability.

One popular product from Liquitex is the Matte Super Heavy Gel Painting Medium, which boasts an extremely thick extra Heavy Body. This gel is heavy-bodied and dense, with high surface drag that imparts a stiff "oil-like" feel. It dries to a translucent matte finish, with minimal shrinkage during the drying process. The medium offers excellent adhesion for collage and mixed media projects, and it is flexible, non-yellowing, and water-resistant once dry.

There are several applications for the Matte Super Heavy Gel Painting Medium. When used as a ground, artists should apply adequate pressure to ensure the gel bonds properly with the raw canvas before painting over it. The gel also provides excellent adhesion for collage and decoupage projects. When mixing with aggregates, artists should be cautious not to add too many foreign materials that may compromise the strength of the acrylic paint film, ensuring compatibility with acrylic emulsion.
