Description
What it does
- Natural sand particles add structure and texture to this 100% acrylic polymer gel
- Dries to a glossy, beach sand finish
- Highly flexible and adhesive
- Will not chip or crack on canvas
- Gives an opaque/semi-opaque appearance – the thicker you apply the more opaque it becomes
- Can be used on its own, mixed with color or overpainted once dry
- When mixed with acrylic color, improves blending and gives oil-style stiffness
- Provides an excellent textured ground or underpainting medium for acrylics, pastels and graphite – great for delicate marks and blending
- Apply thickly to create bold 3D effects, or finely to give surface texture
- Maintains color 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 color/medium to create custom texture
- Start by adding very small amounts of color and build up as needed
- Overpaint when dry with acrylic color
- To use as a ground – apply a thin layer to surface and leave to dry
- Apply thickly for sculptural texture
- Mix with Gloss Medium to create a textured glaze
- For abstract effects, apply different colors with a knife, building layers dry or wet in wet
- Can be mixed with acrylic-compatible powdered pigments
How not to use it
- If varnishing, dont 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
