Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums
to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. We
understand that acrylic 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 acrylic medium products 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 to really explore your
creativity. These include Fluid Mediums and Additives, Gel Mediums and
Additives as well as an array of uniqueEffects Mediums and texture gels.
These acrylic 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 effects of
the environment and ultraviolet light.
Whether you are PREPing the surface, PAINTing the masterpiece, or adding
the crucial FINISHing touch, Liquitex offers the proper acrylic medium
to achieve any desired result. Explore your possibilities even further
by mixing Liquitex acrylic color with any of our acrylic mediums.

Heavy Body Artist Acrylic Paint, previously referred to as High
Viscosity, has a thick consistency for traditional art techniques using
brushes or knives, as well as for experimental, mixed media, collage and
printmaking applications. Impasto applications retain crisp brush stroke
and knife marks. Good surface drag provides excellent handling and
blending characteristics with increased open-working time. High pigment
load produces rich, brilliant, permanent color.
