Build texture, adjust flow, and protect finished acrylics affordably
Gesso primes surfaces with flexible, non-cracking coverage; gloss and matte fluid mediums modify paint flow and sheen; modeling paste builds dimensional effects; texture gels add grit or sculptural body.
The range addresses common studio needs without pretense. Gesso provides adequate tooth on canvas, paper, and wood with single-coat coverage. Fluid mediums extend working time and adjust transparency for blending techniques. Gel mediums thicken paint consistency while maintaining adhesion, useful when you want oil-paint body from acrylics. Texture gels hold shape for impasto or dimensional work. Varnishes protect finished paintings with non-yellowing finishes you can blend for custom sheen levels.
Light modeling paste solves weight concerns for thick applications, while iridescent medium adds shimmer effects when mixed with color or applied over dry paint. The starter set bundles five essentials, gesso, gloss gel, modeling paste, iridescent medium, and texture gel, for artists building foundational supplies. Liquitex maintains quality control across the line, ensuring mediums perform reliably even at economy pricing, which matters when you're working through techniques or building inventory.
