Liquitex Professional Matte Gel

Supporting and collaborating with artists, creatives, and their communities. Developing and offering the boldest range of acrylic paints, mediums and tools to help everyone take an idea, big or small, and make it real. And proudly, passionately, relentlessly doing it all since 1955.

This is Liquitex - the world's first commercial water-based artists' acrylic paint.

About this product:

• Reduces surface shine, increases color depth and transparency;
• Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability;
• Increases viscosity of soft body paints, giving a thicker consistency;
• Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks;
• Primes rough exterior walls for gesso application before mural painting;
• 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 and transparency you want - the more you add, the more transparent your color will become;
• Mix into Heavy Body Acrylic to extend volume and maintain viscosity;
• Mix into Soft Body or Acrylic Ink to extend volume and thicken;
• This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry - when used very thickly it may dry semi-opaque.
