## Description

Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Liquitex Gel Mediums add body to thinner paint for impasto techniques as well as extending color volume and adding transparency. Gels tend to dry slower than thinner paint films, allowing for more workable time. Gel mediums can modify acrylic paints in a variety of ways and since they contain acrylic resins, tend to improve adhesion and durability. Liquitex gel mediums can add texture enhance color and increase transparency within your work Liquitex Matte Gel Painting Medium dries translucent with a satin/matte finish. Viscosity and body similar to Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color. Translucent when wet, transparent when dry. Thicker applications result in less transparent, dry medium films. Mix with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color to obtain paint similar in color depth to oil paint. Color mix will dry to a satin sheen. APPLICATION: AS EXTENDER: Mix with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color to extend volume and increase translucency while maintaining paint viscosity. Mix with Liquitex Soft Body Artist Color to extend volume and increase translucency while increasing paint viscosity. AS GROUND: Recommended as a translucent ground (size) for acrylic paint with excellent tooth and adhesion as an alternative to gesso. Will allow some color and texture of the support to show through. Use as a substitute size for the hide glue size traditionally used for oil paintings. To prevent Substrate Induced Discoloration (SID) wash cotton or linen canvas before use. EXTERIOR MURALS: If the support or wall is very rough, a coat of Liquitex Matte Gel Medium should be brushed, or toweled, onto the surface prior to gesso application. FOR IMPASTO EFFECT: Mix with Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Color for impasto effects that dry to a matte sheen. Visit our Liquitex desertcart Storefront for full product assortment.

Review: Excellent - Excellent product that functions as described. It holds its shape well and s easy to work with. Once dried, the texture is matte, and it hardens efficiently. It can be cut, carved, sanded, or painted on. Thin dried pieces can be brittle and messy, so it's best to clean up before it dries.
Review: Exactly What I Needed – Stiff, Workable, and Reliable! - Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why I Bought It: I needed a professional‑grade gel medium for my art projects that could hold texture while still being workable. Great for waves, and movement pieces! Pros: ✅ Stiff yet workable – holds texture beautifully ✅ Dries to a glossy finish as described ✅ Performs exactly as expected for professional projects ✅ Reliable quality from Liquitex Cons: ❌ Dries faster than I anticipated, so work quickly for best results My Experience: The product worked perfectly for creating textured pieces. It held shape without slumping, and the finish is gorgeous. Even though it dried faster than expected, I’ll definitely be buying it again for future projects. Tip for Buyers: Have your tools and paint ready—this gel sets quicker than you might expect, which is great for finishing but requires efficiency. Would I Recommend? Absolutely! Perfect for artists who want a strong, glossy medium that holds texture without compromise.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this what I should use to transfer a photo to cloth?**
A: Yes. If you laser print your photo onto the shiny side of the a label’s backing paper (you have to peel off and discard/use elsewhere the actual label) you can just just peel it off after drying instead of the water and rub method!

**Q: Description states, "Usually ships within 2 to 4 months". I'm hoping that is an error because I was just about to order this.**
A: It depends on seller. If you want to order this with current seller which lead time to ships is 2-4 month, try to contact and confirm with them. It might be an error like you said. Or you might try to order this with another seller with less lead time to ship. The 99 Give Store usually ships this item within 3-4 business days.

**Q: I used this to create textures for my painting and it just shrank and flattened. I thought this was suppose to give texture and high peaks. How come?**
A: Firstly, the product will flatten out on a flat surface as it dries - this is an unavoidable effect of gravity. "High peaks" must be carefully sculpted and then reshaped while drying - consider drying your piece upside down. Let gravity do its work. Secondly, this product is designed to be used with other Liquitex acrylic paints - if you're mixing it with another type of paint, an unfavorable chemical reaction may be affecting your desired result. The same holds true if you are applying it over a painted surface which has dried. Third, you could consider adding a stiffening agent, such as quick setting acrylic adhesive, to your mixture. This will force the gel to "set up" quickly and stiffen. Experiment with a little bit of material first.

**Q: After I transfer a photo, can I use this on top as a finish or is it just for the transfer process?**
A: You use it as a top coat, it dries clear and works as a seal
