## Description

Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Liquitex Fluid Mediums perform much in the way that their name implies, they are fluid in nature and reduce viscosity of heavier paints and gels. They tend to self-level and do not retain brushstrokes. Liquitex Fluid Mediums modify acrylic paints in a variety of ways and contain acrylic resins to maintain or enhance adhesion and durability. Liquitex Matte Medium Fluid Painting Medium creates a matte, non-reflecting finish when added to acrylic colors. Mix into any acrylic paint to increase transparency and extend color, increase matte sheen, increase film integrity, ease flow of paint and add flexibility and adhesion of paint film. Mix with Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish to produce a semi-gloss or satin medium. Opaque when wet, translucent when dry. APPLICATIONS: AS EXTENDER: Mix with Liquitex Soft Body Artist Color to extend volume and increase translucency while maintaining viscosity. Mix with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color or Basics Acrylic Color to extend volume and increase translucency while decreasing paint viscosity. AS FIXATIVE: Use as a matte fixative over artwork to decrease gloss or shine. Mix 1 part Matte Medium to 1 part distilled water and apply with atomizer or airbrush. Excess medium applied to the surface may cause fogging. AS GROUND: Recommended fluid medium to use as a transparent ground (size) with excellent tooth and adhesion instead of gesso. This will allow the color and texture of the support to show through. EXTERIOR MURALS: If the support or wall is somewhat smooth, a coat of Matte Medium should be brushed, or two coats sprayed, onto the surface prior to applying a gesso.

Review: Exactly What I Needed – Stiff, Workable, and Reliable! - Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why I Bought It: I needed a professional‑grade gel medium for my art projects that could hold texture while still being workable. Great for waves, and movement pieces! Pros: ✅ Stiff yet workable – holds texture beautifully ✅ Dries to a glossy finish as described ✅ Performs exactly as expected for professional projects ✅ Reliable quality from Liquitex Cons: ❌ Dries faster than I anticipated, so work quickly for best results My Experience: The product worked perfectly for creating textured pieces. It held shape without slumping, and the finish is gorgeous. Even though it dried faster than expected, I’ll definitely be buying it again for future projects. Tip for Buyers: Have your tools and paint ready—this gel sets quicker than you might expect, which is great for finishing but requires efficiency. Would I Recommend? Absolutely! Perfect for artists who want a strong, glossy medium that holds texture without compromise.
Review: Excellent - Excellent product that functions as described. It holds its shape well and s easy to work with. Once dried, the texture is matte, and it hardens efficiently. It can be cut, carved, sanded, or painted on. Thin dried pieces can be brittle and messy, so it's best to clean up before it dries.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as expected
*by P***N on October 6, 2025*

I have recently learned about using gel medium. It works great for collage work I have done and as a top cost in a cross-hatch pattern over acrylic paint - then topped it off with varnish for several of my pieces. Adding gel on top of your paintings give them a deep richness. easy to usem high quality, you will love this so buy more than you think you need. 5-stars.
