Gels also add "open time" as they tend to dry slower… Add texture, enhance color, increase transparency! Liquitex Acrylic Mediums are made from 100% acrylic polymer emulsion and produce strong films when dry. When added to acrylic paint, they modify the paint handling characteristics, appearance or volume to produce an infinite variety of effects. Liquitex Gel Mediums can add texture, enhance color and increase transparency within your work. Gels also add "open time" as they tend to dry slower than thinner paint films. These mediums also modify acrylic paints in a variety of ways and, since they contain acrylic resins, tend to improve adhesion and durability. Modeling Pastes are thick acrylic gel blended with marble dust for a strong durable, opaque texture. Key Features: * 100% acrylic polymer emulsion * Add texture, enhance color * Increase transparency * Variety of effects * Perfect For: * Modifying paint handling characteristics * Extending heavy body paint * Impasto, relief, or sculptural effects. * Adhesion and durability Flexible Modeling Paste - Matte, opaque preparation of marble dust and polymer emulsion. Use on a flexible surface for heavy textures and 3D forms. Gloss Gel - This heavy body gloss medium and extender makes acrylic colors more transparent. Heavy Gel (Gloss) - Gives acrylic colors a high degree of drag and density. Great for impasto techniques and glazes. Light Modeling Paste - Putty-like compound that can be shaped while wet or carved when dry. Will not crack or chip. Non-toxic. Matte Gel - Reduces gloss of acrylic colors.
