Liquitex - Acrylic Gloss Gel Medium
Acrylic Gloss Gel Medium
Amplify color vibrancy while maintaining paint body for luminous layers
Pure polymer chemistry transforms how acrylic paint behaves on your surface. Liquitex Gloss Gel maintains paint body while increasing transparency and color brilliance, you get depth without dilution. The heavy gel consistency extends paint volume substantially, letting you work larger or build texture without sacrificing pigment intensity.
Translucent when wet, it dries completely transparent with a high-gloss finish that amplifies color vibrancy. Mix it directly into paint for glazing techniques, or apply it as an isolation layer between painting stages. The pure acrylic polymer also functions as an archival-quality adhesive for collage work, bonding paper, fabric, and found objects with museum-grade permanence. Artists working with dry pigments can use it as a binder to create custom paint, though the resulting mixture works best for studies and practice rather than finished work.
The gel accepts acrylic paint in any ratio. Small additions increase flow and transparency; larger proportions create translucent veils of color for classical glazing techniques. Dries flexible and won't yellow over time.
