Product Overview
Liquitex Texture Gel Medium Natural Sand is a fine-textured gel that dries to the appearance of glossy beach sand. 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:
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
If varnishing, don't be too vigorous as this can cause clouding or foaming - spray varnish will give best results
