What it does
Glass microspheres add shimmering structure and texture to this 100% acrylic polymer gel
Dries to a reflective, undulating finish, for a bubble-like effect
Highly flexible and adhesive
Will not chip or crack on canvas
Can be used on its own, mixed with color or overpainted with acrylics or oils once dry
Apply thickly to create dramatic 3D effects, or finely to give surface texture
Provides an undulating ground for acrylics and oils
Maintains color adhesion, durability and archival quality
How to use it
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
Apply with knife or brush
Can be thinned with small amount of distilled water if required
Mix with different consistencies and ratios of acrylic color/medium to create custom texture
Start by adding very small amounts of color and build up as needed
Overpaint when dry with acrylic/oil color
To use as a ground - apply a thin layer to surface and leave to dry
Apply thickly for sculptural texture
Mix with Gloss Medium to create a textured glaze
For dramatic reflective effects, mix with transparent/semi-opaque colors or apply 'neat' over dried paint
For reflective textured glazes, mix with Gloss Medium and small amounts of Soft Body
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
