Liquitex Gloss Heavy Gel Medium is a high-viscosity acrylic medium designed to add body, depth, and a glossy finish to your artwork. Perfect for impasto techniques and texture building, this gel medium enhances paint performance without compromising color vibrancy. It increases paint body for bold, dimensional effects, enhances color brilliance with a smooth, reflective sheen, and extends paint volume while maintaining pigment intensity. This medium dries to a strong, durable, and flexible film without brittleness, making it versatile for mixed media, collages, layering, and heavy impasto techniques. Elevate your acrylic painting with Liquitex Gloss Heavy Gel Medium, the perfect medium for adding texture, shine, and dimension to your creative projects. It also extends working time and increases brilliance and transparency when mixed with acrylic paint. It increases viscosity to create an oil paint-like consistency that holds knife and brush marks, and increases surface gloss, color depth and transparency. It extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability and slows drying time while maintaining paint adhesion, durability and archival quality. Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products, it can be mixed with Matte Gel to create a custom satin heavy body gel. It can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water (distilled water will give best results). Mix as much as you like into acrylic color to increase viscosity and transparency; the more you add, the more transparent your color will become. This is semi-opaque when wet and transparent when dry. When used very thickly it may dry semi-opaque. Apply with a brush as a collaging glue and fixative. 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.
