Liquitex Acrylic Mediums - Surface preparations set the foundation for stable and permanent colour applications by sealing and adding a tooth to almost any painting surface. We offer five different types of prep products available to accommodate all kinds of work.

Mix with acrylic paint to increase body and attain oil paint-like consistency that holds brush or palette knife marks; Ideal for creating high peaks and sculptural applications that hold shape when dry, with minimal shrinkage Ideal for creating collages with heavier objects.

Gel Mediums add body to thinner paint for impasto techniques, extend colour volume, and add transparency. Gels also add 'open time' as they dry slower than thinner paint films. These mediums also modify acrylic paints in various ways and, since they contain acrylic resins, tend to improve adhesion and durability.
