Liquitex Gel Medium: Versatile Texture, Volume, and Strength for Acrylic Art

Liquitex Gel Medium is a 100% acrylic polymer emulsion designed to mix seamlessly with acrylic paints to modify viscosity, extend volume, and enhance transparency. Often described as “colorless paint,” gel mediums use the same acrylic polymers found in paint—making them perfect for altering consistency without compromising quality. Whether you're looking to add body, create texture, or use it as a strong adhesive in collage work, this medium offers flexibility and durability across a range of techniques.

Liquitex gel mediums are also ideal for building sculptural surfaces, preparing grounds for textured painting, and slowing drying time to improve blending. Available in a variety of finishes—gloss, matte, and satin—they help preserve your artwork and boost its visual impact.

Key Features:

• Extends paint volume and transparency for efficient use
• Adds texture and body when used alone or mixed with paint
• Works as a strong adhesive for collage and mixed media
• Alters viscosity for custom painting techniques and effects
• Serves as a sculptural ground for dimensional surfaces
• Highly flexible and resists cracking, even on canvas
• Water- and chemical-resistant once dry for lasting protection
