Liquitex Matte Super Heavy Gel: Texture, Body, and Matte Finish in One Powerful Medium
Liquitex Matte Super Heavy Gel is a thick, acrylic-based medium made for artists who want to boost the body and texture of their acrylic paint while keeping a matte, non-glossy finish. This 100% acrylic polymer emulsion is designed to hold its shape—perfect for sculptural brushstrokes, sharp palette knife marks, or building up rich, dimensional layers. Whether you're looking to add physical depth to your work, blend unique textures, or simply stretch your paint, this versatile gel delivers excellent performance and control.
You can mix it directly with acrylics to create a firm, oil paint-like consistency or use it on its own as a bold, sculptural layer. It’s also a dependable adhesive for collage work, bonding paper, fabric, and other materials to your surfaces. Once dry, it maintains flexibility, resists yellowing, and forms a durable, water-resistant matte film. Ideal for artists who want to create structure without shine.
