Liquitex Acrylic Mediums

In addition to the widest array of Professional and Student colors, Liquitex offers the broadest possible range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. We understand that mediums are often a difficult concept to grasp until you actually dive into them, so we’ve tried to simplify usage by classifying products in three distinct categories: Prep, Paint, and Finish.

Explore the possibilities

Prep

Paint

Finish


All Fluid Mediums
  • Increase Flow
  • Dry transparent or translucent
  • Extend the volume of thin paint
  • Make an excellent archival adhesive for collage

Fluid Mediums

They are fluid in nature and reduce viscosity of heavier paints and gels. They tend to self-level and do not retain brushstrokes. They modify acrylic paints in a variety of ways and contain acrylic resins to maintain or enhance adhesion and durability.

Fluid Mediums available:

  • Palette Wetting Spray
  • Gloss Medium & Varnish
  • Glazing Medium
  • Matte Medium
  • Ultra Matte Medium
  • Slow-Dri Blending Medium

Gloss Medium & Varnish

The workhorse of the Liquitex mediums range. Gloss Medium & Varnish is an all-purpose medium that performs two functions. It can be used as a varnish and/or a fluid gloss medium. It improves adhesion of paint film and increases color depth, intensity, and gloss. It can also be used as a non-removable varnish to protect the surface and establish an even gloss sheen.

Customers are mixed about the glaze. Some mention that it glazed down to layer nicely, adds a nice gloss to acrylics, and works well as a top coat.

"...The glaze worked well as a top coat...." Read more

"...One side effect, though, is that this medium leaves a glossy finish, so you may need to coat the finished area with a matte varnish if you don't..." Read more
