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.

Finish
All Fluid Mediums
- Increase Flow
- Dry transparent or translucent
- Extend the volume of thin paint
- Make an excellent archival adhesive for collage
Fluid Mediums
They are fluid in nature and reduce viscosity of heavier paints and gels. They tend to self-level and do not retain brushstrokes. They modify acrylic paints in a variety of ways and contain acrylic resins to maintain or enhance adhesion and durability.
Fluid Mediums available:
- Palette Wetting Spray
- Gloss Medium & Varnish
- Glazing Medium
- Matte Medium
- Ultra Matte Medium
- Slow-Dri Blending Medium
Matte Medium
A classic medium used to give fluidity to delicate brushwork or to act as a low sheen adhesive for collage. This medium has a creamy consistency and is great with opaque colors. Mix with Gloss Medium & Varnish to create a customized satin effect.
