Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Liquitex Fluid Mediums perform much in the way their name implies; they are fluid in nature and reduce the viscosity of heavier paints and gels. They tend to self-level and do not retain brushstrokes. Liquitex Fluid Mediums modify acrylic paints in various ways and contain acrylic resins to maintain or enhance adhesion and durability. Liquitex Slow-Dri Blending Medium Fluid Painting Medium is a unique formulation that extends drying time up to 40% for blending with acrylics.  Adds flow to Liquitex Heavy Body Professional Artist Colour and is similar in body to Liquitex Soft Body Professional Artist Colour.  Mix any amount into colour to enhance the depth of colour intensity, increase transparency, and gloss, ease the flow of paint and add flexibility and adhesion to paint film.  Dries clear to reveal the full, rich colour.  Unlike retarding additives, any quantity may be added to the colour without jeopardizing the strength of the paint film. Translucent when wet, transparent when dry; Formulated for maximum flexibility and adhesion, will not chip or crack on canvas; Can be applied to any material or surface that will accept traditional acrylic media, such as canvas, paper, wood, etc.  Liquitex Texture Gels are lightweight, non-toxic, and dry to a water-resistant, non-yellowing surface.
