Professional Matte Gel Medium 237ml

Liquitex offers a wide range of acrylic mediums to spark creativity during every step of the painting process. Gel Mediums by Liquitex enhance thinner paint by adding body for impasto techniques while also increasing color volume and transparency. These gels dry at a slower pace compared to thinner paints, allowing for more flexibility and work time. With acrylic resins included, gel mediums can alter acrylic paints in various ways and improve adhesion and durability. In your artwork, Liquitex gel mediums can introduce texture, enhance color, and boost transparency. Liquitex Matte Gel Painting Medium dries with a satin/matte finish, appearing translucent when wet and transparent when dry. The consistency and body are similar to Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color. Thicker applications lead to less transparency in the dried medium films. When mixed with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color, the result is a paint with a color depth resembling that of oil paint, drying to a satin sheen. APPLICATION: - AS EXTENDER: Blend with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color to increase volume and translucency while keeping the paint's viscosity. Combine with Liquitex Soft Body Artist Color to raise volume, enhance translucency, and thicken the paint. - AS GROUND: Use as a translucent ground (size) for acrylic paint, offering excellent tooth and adhesion as an alternative to gesso. It allows some of the support's color and texture to show through. It can also be substituted for hide glue size, typically used for oil paintings, to prevent Substrate Induced Discoloration (SID). Before usage, wash cotton or linen canvas to prevent SID. - EXTERIOR MURALS: Prior to gesso application, apply a coat of Liquitex Matte Gel Medium on rough supports or walls for a smoother surface. - FOR IMPASTO EFFECT: Blend with Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Color for impasto effects that dry with a matte sheen.
