What it does
Dramatically increases viscosity to create a stiff, oil paint-like consistency that holds high peaks and sculptural shape
Increases surface gloss, colour depth and transparency
Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability
Slows drying time and gives minimal shrinkage
Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
How to use it
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
Mix with Matte Gel to create a custom satin super heavy body gel
Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results
Mix as much as you like into acrylic colour to increase viscosity and transparency - the more you add, the more transparent your colour will become
This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry - when used very thickly it may dry semi-opaque
Apply with a brush as a collaging glue and fixative
How not to use it
Do not vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry
Do not use with any non-acrylic compatible media
