## Overview

Liquitex Professional Ultra Matte Gel Medium is a 473ml high-density, translucent white gel that extends acrylic paint volume by up to 50% while maintaining color opacity.

Non-toxic and ASTM D4236 certified, it’s ideal for both studio and educational use, offering a slower drying time for enhanced workability and excellent adhesion.

## Description

Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Liquitex Gel Mediums add body to thinner paint for impasto techniques as well as extending color volume and adding transparency. Gels tend to dry slower than thinner paint films, allowing for more workable time. Gel mediums can modify acrylic paints in a variety of ways and since they contain acrylic resins, tend to improve adhesion and durability. Liquitex gel mediums can add texture enhance color and increase transparency within your work Liquitex Ultra Matte Gel Painting Medium is a translucent, white gel of high density and high solids, that economically extends the volume of Heavy Body Artist Color without changing its heavy body. Add up to 50% by volume to double amount of paint and retain color position. If more than 50% is added, acts as a very weak tinting white. Maintains the opacity of the color better than using a clear gel medium. Dries to a matte finish giving colors a matte sheen and gouache look. APPLICATIONS: AS EXTENDER: Use when running out of a mixed Heavy Body Artist Color while painting. When you have reached the halfway point of painting the specific area, determine if you have enough paint to finish. If not, add an equal amount of Ultra Matte Gel to the color, enabling you to finish painting without remixing. The color and opacity will be unchanged but the color may lighten (higher value). UNDERPAINTING: Mix into Heavy Body Artist Color during initial underpainting to double amount of color. Visit our Liquitex desertcart Storefront for full product assortment.

Review: Excellent - Excellent product that functions as described. It holds its shape well and s easy to work with. Once dried, the texture is matte, and it hardens efficiently. It can be cut, carved, sanded, or painted on. Thin dried pieces can be brittle and messy, so it's best to clean up before it dries.
Review: Exactly What I Needed – Stiff, Workable, and Reliable! - Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why I Bought It: I needed a professional‑grade gel medium for my art projects that could hold texture while still being workable. Great for waves, and movement pieces! Pros: ✅ Stiff yet workable – holds texture beautifully ✅ Dries to a glossy finish as described ✅ Performs exactly as expected for professional projects ✅ Reliable quality from Liquitex Cons: ❌ Dries faster than I anticipated, so work quickly for best results My Experience: The product worked perfectly for creating textured pieces. It held shape without slumping, and the finish is gorgeous. Even though it dried faster than expected, I’ll definitely be buying it again for future projects. Tip for Buyers: Have your tools and paint ready—this gel sets quicker than you might expect, which is great for finishing but requires efficiency. Would I Recommend? Absolutely! Perfect for artists who want a strong, glossy medium that holds texture without compromise.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as expected
*by P***N on October 6, 2025*

I have recently learned about using gel medium. It works great for collage work I have done and as a top cost in a cross-hatch pattern over acrylic paint - then topped it off with varnish for several of my pieces. Adding gel on top of your paintings give them a deep richness. easy to usem high quality, you will love this so buy more than you think you need. 5-stars.
