• For reflective textural glazes, mix with Liquitex® Gloss Medium & Varnish and small amounts of Liquitex Soft Body Artist Color.
• Suitable as a ground for acrylic and oil paint. Works well with brush application. 

Application

• Apply with different tools i.e. palette knife, trowel, paint brush or cake decorating tips to produce different effects. 
• Mix acrylic paint into Liquitex Texture Gel or let gel dry and paint on top. 
• Mix with Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish to produce textured glazes. 
• Add Liquitex Gel Medium or Heavy Gel Medium when using additional aggregates (such as sand) to avoid brittleness. 
• Varnish with care to avoid foaming or clouding, spray apply where possible.
