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. Surface Preparation All Surface Preps Flexible/non-cracking Does not yellow over time If using more than 1 coat, sanding between coats is recommended Adding Liquitex Soft Body color to any gesso creates customized tints and primers Surface Preparations are used to seal, prime and add tooth (for color adhesion) to all surfaces such as canvas, wood, paper and metal. This same preparation is used for both acrylic and oil paint. Our professional gessoes usually take just 1 coat. Surface Preparations available BASICS Gesso White Gesso Clear Gesso Super Heavy Gesso Colored Gesso The classic white sealer and ground for absorbent surfaces, such as canvas, paper, or wood.
