Effects Painting Medium

Texture: Thick Coarse Sand

Sheen: Satin

Relative Opacity: Opaque

• A thick, coarse, texture gel that contains aggregates of various sizes. 
• Dries to a "rough cement" look and will retain its unique texture well when mixed with paint. 
• Excellent ground for acrylic and oil paint, when dramatic effects are desired. 

Application

• Apply with different tools i.e. palette knife, trowel, paint brush or cake decorating tips to produce different effects.
• Mix Liquitex acrylic paint into Liquitex Texture Gel or let gel dry and paint on top. 
• Mix with Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish to produce textured glazes. 
• As most Liquitex® Texture Gels are translucent very small amounts of paint are needed. 
• Add Liquitex Gel Medium or Heavy Gel Medium when using additional aggregates (such as sand) to avoid brittleness. 
• Varnish with care to avoid foaming or clouding, spray apply if possible.

• All Liquitex Texture Gels may be intermixed to increase the variety of possible textures. 
• Formulated for maximum flexibility and adhesion, will not chip or crack on canvas. 
• Can be applied to any material or surface that will accept traditional acrylic media, such as canvas, paper, wood, etc.
