Liquitex Gloss Gel is a heavy-bodied acrylic gel medium made from pure acrylic polymer. It keeps the body of acrylic paint while increasing transparency and color brilliance. It extends paint volume, so you can cover larger areas or build texture without losing pigment intensity.
The gel is translucent when wet and dries completely transparent with a high-gloss finish. It accepts acrylic paint in any ratio. Small additions increase flow and transparency, and larger proportions create translucent veils of color for classical glazing techniques.
Mix it into paint for glazing, or apply it as an isolation layer between painting stages. It also works as an archival-quality adhesive for collage, bonding paper, fabric and found objects. It can be used as a binder with dry pigments to make custom paint, though the result suits studies and practice better than finished work. The gel dries flexible and does not yellow over time.
