Liquitex Mediums & Texture Gels
for Acrylic

 

 
  • 118ml Slow-Dri Blending Medium
    A unique formulation for superior surface blending with acrylics. Extends drying time up to 40% for superior surface blending with acrylics. Adds flow to Heavy Body Professional Artist Color and is similar in body to Soft Body Professional Artist Color. Mix any amount into color to enhance the depth of color intensity, increase transparency, gloss, ease flow of paint, and add flexibility and adhesion to paint film. Dries clear to reveal full, rich color. Unlike retarding additives, any quantity may be added to color without jeopardizing the strength of the paint film. Translucent when wet, transparent when dry. Flexible, non-yellowing and water resistant when dry.

  • 237ml Gloss Gel Medium
    Dries to a gloss finish. Viscosity and body similar to Heavy Body Artist Color. Translucent when wet, transparent (clear) to translucent when dry. Thicker applications result in less transparent dry medium films. Ideal medium to mix with Heavy Body Acrylic Color to extend paint, increase the brilliance and transparency of color, without changing the thickness of the paint. Mix with Heavy Body Artist Color to obtain paint similar in color depth to oil paint.

  • 237ml Matte Gel Medium
    Heavy Body. Same qualities as Gloss Gel Medium, except dries translucent with a satin/matte finish. Viscosity and body similar to Heavy Body Artist Color. Matte Gel Medium has greater adhesion than Gloss Gel Medium and Gloss Heavy Gel Medium. Translucent when wet, transparent when dry. Thicker applications result in less transparent dry medium films. Mix with Heavy Body Artist Color to obtain paint similar in color depth to oil paint. Color mix will dry to a satin sheen.

  • 118ml Glaze Medium
    For creating brilliant jewel like glazes with acrylic artist colors. Excellent brushing and leveling qualities. Dries quickly for rapid layering. Mix with any amount of acrylic color. Small quantities of color provide the most transparency. Works best with transparent or translucent colors. Flexible, non-yellowing and water resistant when dry.

  • 237ml Gloss Super Heavy Gel
    Extremely thick, extra Heavy Body. The thickest "clear" gel. Heavy bodied, very dense, with high surface drag for a stiff "oil-like" feel. Dries clear to translucent depending on thickness of the application. Very little shrinkage during drying time. Excellent adhesion for collage and mixed media. Extends paint, increases brilliance and transparency. Keeps paint working longer than other gel mediums. Flexible, non-yellowing and water resistant when dry.

  • 237ml Light Modelling Paste
    Soft Body. A lightweight, airy, flexible, thick, sculptural gel specifically formulated to be used in thick applications where weight is a factor. Will not exhibit "mud cracking". Used alone, will dry to a matte opaque white that readily accepts staining if desired.

  • 237ml, 473ml, 946ml Modelling Paste
    Extra Heavy Body and very opaque. A marble paste made of marble dust and 100% polymer emulsion. Used to build heavy textures on rigid supports and create three-dimensional forms. Dries to the hardness of stone. It can be sanded or carved when thoroughly dry. Can be handled like clay if the top of the container is removed and some of the water is allowed to slowly evaporate until it reaches a clay-like consistency. Adheres to any non-oily, absorbent surface. Drying too quickly causes mud cracking that is usually cosmetic, not structural. When mixed with acrylic colors will act as a weak tinting white, while increasing thickness and rigidity. Excellent substrate for acrylic paint, oil paint, oil pastel, oil bars, watercolor, graphite or dry pastel.

  • 237ml Slo-Dri Blending Gel
    A unique formulation for superior surface blending with acrylics. Extends drying time up to 40% for superior surface blending with acrylics. Is similar in body to Heavy Body Professional Artist Color. Mix any amount into color to enhance the depth of color intensity, increase transparency, gloss, and add flexibility and adhesion to paint film. Dries clear to reveal full, rich color. Unlike retarding additives, any quantity may be added to color without jeopardizing the strength of the paint film. Translucent when wet, transparent when dry. Flexible, non-yellowing and water resistant when dry.

  • 118ml Flow-Aid Enhancer
    For all acrylic paints and mediums. Use in conjunction with any acrylic medium or color when increased flow and absorption and decreased film tension and friction are important. A flow enhancer that improves the flow, absorption and blending of any water-soluble paint (i.e. acrylic paint), medium, ink or dye. Minimizes brush marks by reducing friction of paint application. Does not contain binder. Over thinning of acrylic paint with Flow-AidTM and applying to a non-absorbent surface (i.e. gessoed canvas) may result in poor adhesion. Always make a test piece for your particular application and surface. On non-absorbent surfaces, will increase the fluidity and open (drying) time of the paint. On absorbent surfaces, will act as a stain, dye or watercolor.

  • 237ml Heavy Gel Medium
    Extra Heavy Body. Extra heavy body medium of great density which dries to a transparent or translucent gloss finish. Mix with acrylic paint to increase body, density, viscosity and attain oil paint like consistency with brush or palette knife marks. Extends paint while increasing brilliance and transparency. Keeps paint workable longer than other gel mediums.

  • 237ml Airbrush Medium
    Low viscosity. Pre-mixed blend of acrylic polymer emulsion, water, retarder and Flow-Aid. Ready to use pre-filtered and pre-reduced to the proper consistency for airbrush technique. Add as much or as little as desired. Formulated for thinning acrylic colors for airbrush application. Ensures colors do not lose flexibility, durability and adhesion. Easily thins acrylic or any water-soluble paints to a sprayable consistency. Allows thinned acrylic paint to be sprayed efficiently and retain paint film integrity. Liquitex Airbrush Medium mixes easily with all Liquitex Soft Body Concentrated Artist Colors to produce airbrush paint with the proper viscosity for airbrushing. Can also be mixed with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Colors. Can be mixed with all Liquitex paint, mediums and gesso.

  • 118ml Fabric Medium
    Enhances the workability of acrylic paint on fabric. Controls bleeding of colors thinned with water. Provides a smooth, consistent flow to Soft Body Artist Color. Prevents uneven application of paint to rough textured fabrics. Reduces stiffness of dried acrylic paint on fabric. Eliminates the need to scrub or abrade rough textured fabrics in order for paint to adhere to or penetrate into surface. Does not require heat setting.

  • 237ml Black Lava
    Soft Body. A black speckled gel that contains small, flat, hexagonal shaped dark aggregates. When wet, look gray but when dry, give the effect of ground, dry, black lava. Mixed with transparent and translucent colors, black speckled quality is most apparent. Mix with Liquitex Interference Paint for dramatic color effects.

  • 237ml Blended Fibres
    Soft Body. A thick, fibrous gel that when dry give the effect of flexible fibers. Add Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium or Gloss Heavy Gel Medium for easier application and to increase adhesion while wet. Works best when applied with palette knife or trowel.

  • 237ml Glass Beads
    Soft Body. A medium body gel that contains clear, round aggregates that dry to a semi-gloss, reflective ("bubbly") surface. For most dramatic reflective effects, mix with transparent or translucent colors or apply straight from container over dried paint. For reflective textural glazes, mix with Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish and small amounts of Liquitex Soft Body Concentrated Artist Color. Suitable as a ground for acrylic and oil paint. Works well with brush application.

  • 237ml Natural Sand
    Soft Body. A finely textured gel that dries to a surface similar to glossy "beach sand". Mix with Liquitex acrylic colors to improve blending and impart the "feel" of oil paint. Very effective ground for acrylic and oil paints, oil pastel, pastel and graphite when delicate marks and blending are necessary. Works well with brush application.

  • 237ml Resin Sand
    Soft Body. A thick, coarse, texture gel that contains aggregates of various sizes. Dries to a "rough cement" look and will retain its unique texture well when mixed with paint. Excellent ground for acrylic and oil paint, when dramatic effects are desired.

  • 237ml White Opaque Flakes
    A Heavy body, coarse gel, that contains irregular sized and shaped opaque flakes. White flake texture is most apparent when mixed with transparent or translucent colors or small amounts of opaque color. If pure white is desired, add a small amount of Liquitex Titanium White.
