Effect medium Liquitex Ceramic Stucco

Build flexible, cement-like, fine-grade texture with this thick acrylic effects gel! Tiny hollow ceramic spheres add structure and texture to this 100% acrylic polymer gel. Liquitex Ceramic Stucco effect is highly flexible and adhesive. It dries to a light gray matte stucco finish and 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. Provides an excellent absorbent ground for acrylics, pastels and graphite – for glazing, washes and drawing on. 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 palette knife or brush
– Tint with acrylic color to make a colored texture cement
– Intermix with other texture gels to get a custom effect
– Overpaint when dry with acrylic color
– To use as an absorbent ground – apply a thin layer to surface and leave to dry
– To color wash – paint over with a mix of color and Airbrush Medium
– Apply thickly for sculptural texture
– For abstract effects, apply different colors with a knife, building layers dry or wet in wet
– Can be mixed with acrylic-compatible powdered pigments
– Varnish for additional protection

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
