Professional Gloss Gel Medium, 473ml

Liquitex offers a wide range of acrylic mediums specifically designed to fuel creativity during all stages of the painting process. Gel Mediums from Liquitex are perfect for adding body to thinner paint, allowing for impasto techniques, extending color volume, and increasing transparency. These gels have a slower drying time compared to thinner paint films, providing artists with more flexibility and time to work. As the gel mediums contain acrylic resins, they can enhance adhesion and durability of acrylic paints in various ways.

Liquitex Gel Mediums can be used to modify acrylic paints to add texture, enhance color, and increase transparency within your artwork. The Liquitex Gloss Gel Painting Medium is a transparent medium that dries to a glossy finish. It has a viscosity and body similar to Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color and dries clear to translucent, depending on the thickness of application. This medium is ideal for mixing with Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Color to extend paint, enhance color brilliance, and increase transparency without altering the paint's thickness.

Here are some applications of Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium: - As an extender: Mix with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color to increase transparency and volume while maintaining paint viscosity. Mix with Liquitex Soft Body Artist Color to increase transparency and volume while also increasing paint viscosity. - As a ground: Use as a transparent ground for acrylic paint instead of gesso to allow the substrate to be visible. It is recommended to wash cotton or linen canvas before use to prevent Substrate Induced Discoloration (SID). When applying Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium to raw canvas, apply adequate pressure to ensure proper bonding between the gel and canvas weave. - For collage: Excellent adhesion for collage and decoupage projects. - Using powdered pigments: Use as a binder for powdered pigments to create a cost-effective "student grade" Heavy Body gloss acrylic paint or achieve unique paint effects. Ensure the pigment is compatible with acrylic emulsion.
