Create Glossy, Dimensional Effects with Acrylic String Gel

Liquitex Professional String Gel is an acrylic polymer medium with a unique honey-like viscosity that enables artists to apply long, stringy lines of paint for dramatic surface effects. Whether poured, dripped, or brushed, this gel delivers a wet-look gloss and smooth texture that remains transparent when dry. When mixed with color, it enhances gloss, deepens color intensity, and increases transparency—adding visual interest and control to abstract or textured compositions. It can also be used alone to build sculptural 3D textures that maintain a luminous, glassy finish.

Ideal for experimental techniques and dimensional layering, String Gel extends paint volume without affecting its archival quality or adhesion. Once dry, it forms a permanent, non-yellowing, and water-resistant film that can be painted over to add depth and complexity. Artists can use this gel to create layered effects, controlled pours, or textural accents that remain flexible and durable over time. Whether you're working with detail or bold gesture, String Gel invites playful exploration with every application.
