Liquitex Professional Acrylic Mediums String Gel, 237 ml Pot

Liquitex Professional Acrylic Mediums String Gel is a specialised texture medium designed for artists working with acrylic paints. It is a self-levelling gel with a distinctive honey-like consistency that allows for unique application techniques. When poured or dripped, it creates long, continuous strings of medium that maintain their form as they dry, adding three-dimensional texture to artwork. The gel is fully intermixable with acrylic colours, altering their flow characteristics while maintaining the paint's archival quality and adhesion properties. The medium serves multiple functions in acrylic painting. It increases transparency and surface gloss while enhancing colour depth, allowing artists to extend their paint without compromising stability. When mixed with acrylics, it transforms them into a viscous, sticky consistency ideal for creating string-like applications or long streaking brush effects. The gel dries to a permanent, flexible, water-resistant finish with a wet-look shine. It remains opaque while wet but becomes transparent upon drying, making it suitable for layered techniques and glazing applications. This product is particularly valuable for mixed-media artists, abstract painters, and those exploring textural effects in their work. It enables the creation of raised, three-dimensional elements that can be highlighted with subsequent painting or spraying. The gel works best when mixed with Liquitex Soft Body Acrylics or Acrylic Inks, though it is compatible with all Liquitex products. For artists seeking to experiment with texture while maintaining professional-grade materials, this medium offers versatile possibilities for both controlled application and spontaneous, expressive techniques.
