Liquitex Acrylic Mediums
In addition to the widest array of Professional and Student colors, Liquitex offers the broadest possible range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. We understand that mediums are often a difficult concept to grasp until you actually dive into them, so we’ve tried to simplify usage by classifying products in three distinct categories: Prep, Paint, and Finish.
Prep
Surface preparations set the foundation for stable and permanent color applications by sealing and adding tooth to almost any painting surface. We offer five different types of prep products available to accommodate all types of work.
Paint
Within the painting category, there are several different types of products you would use besides the color itself. They are Fluid Mediums, Gel Mediums, Additives, and Texture Gels. Each of these products are explained further within this brochure. These painting mediums allow an artist to adjust the working and optical properties of the paint film to accomplish an astonishing variety of techniques and applications.
Finish
Varnishes are applied over a completed piece of work to change or unify the surface sheen and protect the painted surface from the environment and ultraviolet light.
Whether you are Prepping the surface, Painting the masterpiece, or adding the crucial Finishing touch, Liquitex offers the proper medium to achieve any desired result. Explore your possibilities even further by mixing Liquitex acrylic color with any of our mediums.

All Gel Mediums:
Add Body
Increase 'open' time
Dry transparent or translucent
Extend the volume of paint
Hold brush or knife marks
Make an excellent archival adhesive for collage
Gel Mediums
Gel Mediums add body to thinner paint for impasto techniques as well as extending color volume and adding transparency. Gels also add 'open time' as they tend to dry slower than thinner paint films. These mediums also also modify acrylic paints in a variety of ways and, since they contain acrylic resins, tend to improve adhesion and durability.
Gel Mediums available:

Gloss Heavy Gel
Gloss Super Heavy Gel
Matte Gel

Ultra Matte Gel
