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.
Effects Mediums
You have the ability to customize acrylic color in infinite ways with our effects mediums. Professional formulas alter the behavior of your paint, add texture and prepare it for specific techniques, while keeping its acrylic film strength intact. Created in the lab, these 15 mediums cover all bases. Want to add iridescence? Get a viscous texture? Use an airbrush? Pour? Or paint on fabric? Effects mediums and colors can be mixed in any way you like to achieve bespoke results.
