Heavy Gloss Gel for Thick Texture and Rich Acrylic Shine
Liquitex Professional Gloss Heavy Gel is a high-viscosity acrylic medium designed to increase the body of acrylic paint while adding a lustrous, glossy finish. This gel thickens paint to an oil-like consistency, ideal for sculptural techniques and expressive impasto applications. It retains brushstrokes and palette knife marks, allowing artists to build dimensional surfaces with a bold, textured look. The extended working time gives you more flexibility to manipulate the paint before it dries, while enhancing color depth and transparency for visually rich results.
Perfect for artists looking to create heavy textures or bold accents, Gloss Heavy Gel can be used on its own, mixed with acrylic paint, or blended with Matte Gel to customize your sheen. It also works well in collage, as a fixative, or for layering effects in mixed media work. Once dry, the gel forms a flexible, water-resistant surface and is fully intermixable with all Liquitex paints and mediums. Whether you're building up thick strokes or adding shine and structure to your acrylic work, this medium provides reliable strength and control.
