Gloss Medium & Varnish
Improves adhesion and protects paintings Liquid painting medium
Texture: Liquid
Gloss: Gloss
Relative Opacity: Transparent
All-purpose Liquitex medium formulated to mix with all Liquitex acrylic paints and mediums. Mix with any acrylic paint to enhance the depth of color intensity, increase transparency and gloss, facilitate paint flow, and increase flexibility and adhesion of the paint film. Use as a non-removable varnish to protect the paint finish and give the surface a glossy sheen. Translucent when wet, transparent (clear) when dry. Dries to a non-sticky, hard, flexible surface that repels stains. Moisture permeable (breathable) depending on the substrate. Will not crack as the surface expands and contracts with temperature and humidity changes. Applicable to any surface (flexible and inflexible) including canvas, paper, wood, plexiglass, etc. Not for use on oil paint.
APPLICATIONS AS A MEDIUM
As an extender: Mix with Liquitex Soft Body Artist Color to increase volume and increase transparency while maintaining the viscosity of the paint. Mix with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color to increase volume and increase transparency while reducing the viscosity of the paint.
As a fixative: Use as a fixative over artwork (acrylic paint, pastel, graphite, chalk) to increase gloss or sheen. Mix 1 part Gloss Medium & Varnish with 1 part distilled water. Apply with atomizer or airbrush.
As a binder/adhesive: Powdered pigments or aggregates can be mixed into Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish, but they must be compatible with acrylic paints. Collagen material can be bonded using Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish as a liquid adhesive.
As a reason: Use as a transparent primer for acrylic paint instead of gesso so the substrate is visible. To avoid substrate-related discoloration, wash cotton or linen canvas before use. With powdered pigments: Used as a binder with powdered pigments to make an inexpensive soft body gloss paint for students.
APPLICATION AS VARNISH
As the best varnish for acrylic paintings, Gloss Varnish is recommended for flexible surfaces. Apply Gloss Medium and Varnish as a final permanent varnish over the dry acrylic paint. Paint surface and surrounding area must be clean, dry and dust-free. Acrylic paintings must be completely dry and cured for 48-72 hours before varnishing. Dilute Gloss Medium and Varnish up to 20% for better brushing and leveling. Application can be done by brush or spray. Generally, a spray application is thinner, smoother and more even.
Application by roller or sponging is not recommended.
Caution: Acrylic paints and mediums become increasingly brittle in cold weather.
Do not apply below 60 degrees.
