Liquitex Gloss Medium improves flow & adhesion of paint film when mixed directly with acrylic paint.
Liquitex Gloss Medium is perfect for adding a gloss finish to acrylic paints if you dont want the typical matt finish acrylic paints give.

Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability.
Maintains paint adhesion, durability & archival quality.
Use as a non-removable varnish to protect paintings & establish a gloss surface sheen.
Ideal to use as a glue when collaging with lightweight materials.
Transfers printed images.
How to use
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products.
Mix with Matte Medium to create a custom satin fluid medium.
Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water
- distilled water will give best results.
Mix as much as you like into acrylic color to create the viscosity & transparency you want
- the more you add, the thinner & more transparent your color will become.
Stir gently to avoid creating foam
- if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise & disappear.
This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry.
To fix pastel, graphite or chalk, mix 1 part medium to 1 part distilled water & apply with an atomizer or airbrush.
Apply with a brush/sponge as a lightweight collaging glue Do not shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry.
Do not use with any non-acrylic media.
Use with Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic & Liquitex Soft Body Acrylic colours.
