Liquitex - Acrylic Metallic Mediums
Acrylic Metallic Mediums
Mix into acrylics or use pure for luminous metallic highlights
Metallic pigments suspended in acrylic polymer deliver genuine shimmer without the grainy, separated look of mixed-in powders. Liquitex formulates these mediums with finely milled metallics that maintain their reflective quality whether you blend them into colors or apply them straight from the jar. Mix with any acrylic paint to transform flat hues into luminous metallic versions, add gold medium to burnt sienna for rich copper tones, or blend silver into ultramarine for steel-like effects. The polymer base matches standard acrylic viscosity, so mixed colors maintain proper flow and workability rather than becoming stiff or difficult to brush.
Applied directly, these mediums create pure metallic highlights and accents with consistent coverage. The suspended pigments distribute evenly across surfaces, eliminating the pooling and separation that occurs when metallic powders settle in wet paint. Both gold and silver dry to a flexible, durable film that won't crack or flake with canvas flex. Available in individual jars, letting you stock only the metallic tones your work requires rather than purchasing unnecessary colors in a set.
