What it does
Irregular size acrylic polymer fibres add structure and texture to this 100% acrylic polymer gel
Dries to an opaque, matte, pulpy finish
Highly flexible and adhesive
Will not chip or crack on canvas
Holds unusual peaks and knife strokes, a little like textile or organic fibres
Can be used on its own, mixed with colour or overpainted once dry
Apply thickly to create bold 3D effects, or finely to give the surface texture
Maintains colour adhesion, durability and archival quality
How to use it
Fully inter-mixable with all Liquitex products
Apply with a knife
Can be thinned with a small amount of distilled water if required
Mix with different consistencies and ratios of acrylic colour/medium to create custom texture
Start by adding very small amounts of colour and build up as needed
Overpaint when dry with acrylic colour
Apply thickly for sculptural texture
Mix with Gloss Gel or Gloss Heavy Gel to increase surface adhesion and application
Mix with Gloss Medium to create a textured glaze
For abstract effects, apply different colours with a knife, building layers dry or wet in wet
Can be mixed with acrylic-compatible powdered pigments
How not to use it
If varnishing, don’t be too vigorous as this can cause clouding or foaming – spray varnish will give best results
Do not use with any non-acrylic compatible media
