Ultra Matte Gel Medium, 473ml (16-oz)

Liquitex, offering the broadest range of acrylic mediums, aims to inspire creativity throughout the painting process. Gel Mediums by Liquitex not only add body to thinner paint for impasto techniques but also extend color volume and increase transparency. These gels have a slower drying time than thinner paint films, providing artists with more flexibility and workable time. Due to the acrylic resins they contain, gel mediums can modify acrylic paints in various ways, ultimately enhancing adhesion and durability. With Liquitex gel mediums, artists can add texture, enrich color, and boost transparency in their work.

Liquitex's Ultra Matte Gel Painting Medium is a translucent, white gel with high density and high solids, which economically extends the volume of Heavy Body Artist Color without altering its heavy body. By adding up to 50% by volume, artists can double the amount of paint while maintaining color intensity. Exceeding 50% of Ultra Matte Gel results in a very weak tinting effect. This medium retains the opacity of colors better than clear gel mediums, drying to a matte finish that imparts colors with a matte sheen and gouache-like appearance.

The applications of Ultra Matte Gel include 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 at the halfway point, artists can finish painting without having to remix, maintaining color intensity while potentially lightening the shade. Additionally, this gel can be mixed into Heavy Body Artist Color during the initial underpainting stage to double the amount of color.

Furthermore, the medium conforms to ASTM D4236 standards, making it safe for educational use.
