From the brand
WE ARE LIQUITEX
Developing and offering the boldest range of acrylic paints, mediums and tools to help everyone take an idea, big or small.
From the manufacturer
Liquitex Acrylic Mediums
In addition to the widest array of Professional and Student colors, Liquitex offers the broadest possible range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. We understand that mediums are often a difficult concept to grasp until you actually dive into them, so we’ve tried to simplify usage by classifying products in three distinct categories: Prep, Paint, and Finish.
Prep
Surface preparations set the foundation for stable and permanent color applications by sealing and adding tooth to almost any painting surface. We offer five different types of prep products available to accommodate all types of work.
Paint
Within the painting category, there are several different types of products you would use besides the color itself. They are Fluid Mediums, Gel Mediums, Additives, and Texture Gels. Each of these products are explained further within this brochure. These painting mediums allow an artist to adjust the working and optical properties of the paint film to accomplish an astonishing variety of techniques and applications.
Finish
Varnishes are applied over a completed piece of work to change or unify the surface sheen and protect the painted surface from the environment and ultraviolet light.
Whether you are Prepping the surface, Painting the masterpiece, or adding the crucial Finishing touch, Liquitex offers the proper medium to achieve any desired result. Explore your possibilities even further by mixing Liquitex acrylic color with any of our mediums.

Effects Mediums
You have the ability to customize acrylic color in infinite ways with our effects mediums. Professional formulas alter the behavior of your paint, add texture and prepare it for specific techniques, while keeping its acrylic film strength intact. Created in the lab, these 15 mediums cover all bases. Want to add iridescence? Get a viscous texture? Use an airbrush? Pour? Or paint on fabric? Effects mediums and colors can be mixed in any way you like to achieve bespoke results.

Effect: | Excellent for retaining brush marks while slowing the drying time and adding body to the paint | Make color more adhesive, flexible and workable on all kinds of textiles. | Mix with color to create a smooth, high gloss finish that adheres to slick non-porous surfaces like glass. When heat set, creates a glossy, scratch resistant surface. | Adjust color and mediums to a water-like state ready for airbrush application. | Give your paint an iridescent finish, or use on its own to add surface highlights. | Create long honey-like strings of glossy, wet-look color which you can use for textured effects. |
