Liquitex Black Lava Textured Effects Medium 237ml
By Liquitex
What it does
- Tiny flat black acrylic polymer hexagons add dimension and texture to this clear 100% acrylic polymer gel
- Dries to a ground black lava texture
- Highly flexible and adhesive
- Will not chip or crack on canvas
- Can be used on its own, mixed with color or overpainted with acrylics once dry
- Apply thickly to create dramatic 3D effects, or finely to give surface highlights and dimension
- Maintains colour adhesion, durability and archival quality
How to use it
- Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
- Apply with knife or brush
- Can be thinned with a small amount of distilled water if required
- Mix with different consistencies and ratios of acrylic colour/medium to create custom texture
- Start by adding very small amounts of colour and build up as needed
- For maximum dimension, mix with transparent/semi opaque colors
- For dramatic glittery effects and highlights, mix with metallic colour or apply 'neat' over dried paint
- Mix with Gloss Medium to create a textured glaze
- Overpaint when dry with transparent/semi opaque acrylics for different effects
- Can be mixed with acrylic-compatible powdered pigments
How not to use it
- If varnishing, don't be too vigorous as this can cause clouding or foaming - spray varnish will give best results
- Do not use with any non-acrylic compatible media
