Liquitex Professional Ultra Matte Gel Medium, 237ml (8-oz)

Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Liquitex Gel Mediums add body to thinner paint for impasto techniques as well as extending color volume and adding transparency. Gels tend to dry slower than thinner paint films, allowing for more workable time. Gel mediums can modify acrylic paints in a variety of ways and since they contain acrylic resins, tend to improve adhesion and durability. Liquitex gel mediums can add texture enhance color and increase transparency within your work Liquitex Ultra Matte Gel Painting Medium is a translucent, white gel of high density and high solids, that economically extends the volume of Heavy Body Artist Color without changing its heavy body.  Add up to 50% by volume to double amount of paint and retain color position.  If more than 50% is added, acts as a very weak tinting white.  Maintains the opacity of the color better than using a clear gel medium.  Dries to a matte finish giving colors a matte sheen and gouache look. APPLICATIONS: AS EXTENDER: Use when running out of a mixed Heavy Body Artist Color while painting. When you have reached the halfway point of painting the specific area, determine if you have enough paint to finish. If not, add an equal amount of Ultra Matte Gel to the color, enabling you to finish painting without remixing. The color and opacity will be unchanged but the color may lighten (higher value). UNDERPAINTING: Mix into Heavy Body Artist Color during initial underpainting to double amount of color.
