Transform fluid acrylics into impasto paint with thick, sculptural body
Thin acrylic paint sometimes needs more body without sacrificing its fluid character. Liquithick Thickening Gel builds viscosity while maintaining workability, transforming pourable paint into material that holds brushstrokes and knife marks. The gel integrates smoothly into any acrylic color or medium, thickening without altering hue or adding opacity, your pigments retain their original intensity and transparency.
Mix ratios determine results: small amounts create subtle body for controlled brushwork, while higher concentrations produce paste-like consistency for impasto techniques. The gel dries to the same flexible, durable film as quality acrylic paint, maintaining adhesion and preventing cracking even in thick applications. Liquitex formulates this medium to match their paint chemistry precisely, ensuring compatibility and archival stability.
Artists working in layers appreciate how thickened paint stays where applied rather than self-leveling. Palette knife painters get the dimensional texture they need. Even printmakers use it to modify viscosity for specific techniques. Add Liquithick gradually, you can always increase thickness, but reversing requires adding more paint.
