Clear Gel Medium with Reflective Glass Beads for Shimmering Texture Effects
This acrylic-based gel medium contains a high concentration of clear glass beads, designed to add light-reflecting texture and a shimmering surface effect to your artwork. When dry, the gel remains transparent, allowing the base layer’s color to show through while the glass beads catch the light to create a sparkle reminiscent of dew or condensation.
The gel can be used on its own for transparent texture or mixed with acrylic paints and other mediums to develop custom effects. Best applied in thin layers, especially over light-colored surfaces, it creates captivating visual depth perfect for enhancing mixed media, backgrounds, and dimensional detail.
