Description

Liquitex Matte Gel Medium is a versatile medium that reduces surface shine, increases colour depth, and transforms the handling properties of your acrylics. It extends paint volume and drying time, while also acting as a strong adhesive for collage and mixed media work.

Key Features 

  • Reduces surface gloss for a flat, matte finish
  • Thickens soft body paints and inks for impasto effects
  • Extends drying time and improves brushmark visibility
  • Enhances transparency and colour richness
  • Excellent for heavy-duty collage and mixed media
  • Can be used to prepare rough walls before mural painting
  • Maintains archival quality and flexibility

How to Use

  • Intermixable with all Liquitex products
  • Blend with Gloss Gel to create a custom satin finish
  • Thin with up to 25% distilled water if needed
  • Mix into Heavy Body Acrylic to retain viscosity while extending volume
  • Mix into Soft Body or Ink to thicken and increase working time
  • Dries transparent (or semi-opaque when applied thickly)
  • Apply with a brush for collage and glue applications

Usage Tips
Avoid over-brushing, which may cause a hazy finish when dry. Do not mix with non-acrylic media.
