Description

Build flexible, cement-like, fine-grade texture with this thick acrylic effects gel.

What it does;

• Tiny hollow ceramic spheres add structure and texture to this 100% acrylic polymer gel.
• Dries to a light grey matte stucco finish.
• Highly flexible and adhesive.
• Will not chip or crack on canvas.
• Gives an opaque/semi-opaque appearance – the thicker you apply, the more opaque it becomes.
• Can be used on its own, mixed with colour or overpainted once dry.
• Provides an excellent absorbent ground for acrylics, pastels and graphite – for glazing, washes and drawing on.
• Apply thickly to create bold 3d effects, or finely to give surface texture.
• Maintains colour adhesion, durability and archival quality.

How to use it;

• Fully intermixable with all liquitex products.
• Apply with palette knife or brush.
• Tint with acrylic colour to make a coloured texture cement.
• Intermix with other texture gels to get a custom effect.
• Overpaint when dry with acrylic colour.
• To use as an absorbent ground – apply a thin layer to surface and leave to dry.
• To colour wash – paint over with a mix of colour and airbrush medium.
• Apply thickly for sculptural texture.
• For abstract effects, apply different colours with a knife, building layers dry or wet in wet.
• Can be mixed with acrylic-compatible powdered pigments.
• Varnish for additional protection.

How not to use it;

• If varnishing, don’t be too vigorous as this can cause clouding or foaming – spray varnish will give best results.
• Do not use with any non-acrylic compatible media.
