LIQUITEX MEDIUM 237ML

Build flexible, medium-grade sandy texture with this thick acrylic effects gel.

What it does;

• Natural sand particles add structure and texture to this 100% acrylic polymer gel.
• Dries to a glossy, 'beach sand' finish.
• Highly flexible and adhesive.
• Will not chip or crack on canvas.
• Gives an opaque/semi-opaque appearance - the thicker you apply the more opaque it becomes.
• Can be used on its own, mixed with colour or overpainted once dry.
• When mixed with acrylic colour, improves blending and gives oil-style stiffness.
• Provides an excellent textured ground or underpainting medium for acrylics, pastels and graphite - great for delicate marks and blending.
• Apply thickly to create bold 3d effects, or finely to give surface texture.
• Maintains colour adhesion, durability and archival quality.

How to use it;

• Fully intermixable with all liquitex products.
• Apply with knife or brush.
• Can be thinned with a small amount of distilled water if required.
• Mix with different consistencies and ratios of acrylic colour/medium to create custom texture.
• Start by adding very small amounts of colour and build up as needed.
• Overpaint when dry with acrylic colour.
• To use as a ground - apply a thin layer to surface and leave to dry.
• Apply thickly for sculptural texture.
• Mix with gloss medium to create a textured glaze.
• For abstract effects, apply different colours with a knife, building layers dry or wet in wet.
• Can be mixed with acrylic-compatible powdered pigments.

How not to use it;

• If varnishing, don't be too vigorous as this can cause clouding or foaming - spray varnish will give best results.
• Do not use with any non-acrylic compatible media.
