Liquitex Professional Fluid Medium, 946ml (32-oz), Gloss

Liquitex is a large company with quality products. Ive never had any issues or defects, but I think if I did, they would make it right. I believe I used this glazing medium on a painting with added gold leaf. The glaze worked well as a top coat. My paint hadnt dried completely before I added this, so it did pick up some pigment and the glaze was tinted, which turned out pretty cool. I would recommend this as a quality product, but would be interested in finding something less expensive.

Nirm brillo a la pintura, lo recomiendo para pintsr piedras en el agua.

Great

Love the consistency and evenness that it has going on. Paint flows much more smoothly, and glazes look good.

Lo uso come base per il journaling. Applicarlo come base (lasciugatura è abbastanza rapida) vi permette di dipingere sopra senza che la pittura si espanda per il foglio. Usato su uno sketchbook, un pochino la pagina perde la sua piattezza .. un pochino si imbarca ma ovviamente dipende da quanto dovete poi dipingerci sopra. Ottimo anche come finitura. Aggiornerò questa recensione man mano che procederò con i miei lavori ed esperimenti pittorici creativi.

works well with paint

After seeing the price of this product at the local Michaels, I left it in the store and was about to order it at Pearl Paint (legendary store in NYC with online availability) when I got to the shipping part. Whoah! It was almost as much as what I was buying. I thought, Its a longshot, but maybe, just maybe, its available on Amazon. Presto! Better price than Pearls, WAY better price than Michaels, free shipping, no tax--whats not to like?!

It does what is says it does.

Love glazing medium, was perfect!

I have used Liquitex Gloss Medium for years on small paintings - from tiny to 11 x 14 - so I dont know about using it on larger canvases. For my purposes (glazing, extending paint, protecting surface of paintings) it has produced consistently excellent results. What I like best is that it adds a vibrance, vitality and new life to what are normally dull matte finishes. If I want to build up multiple layers of translucent color, this product allows me to do that with a result that dramatically enhances the look of depth and even quality of the finished product. I will add that you may need to try more than one way of applying it. Do not use a sponge brush or roller unless you want hundreds of air bubbles...and it can ruin your work. If using as a glaze, I pour a small amount directly onto the dry acrylic painting and brush on with a high quality 1 to 1.5 wide brush, vertically. Then when that dries, I do the same horizontally. You can do several layers as long as it dries completely between layers. And you have to experiment with how much to use. If you use too much you will be able to see brush strokes and more of a textured surface. So there is a learning curve, as there is with any product you havent used before. Once I stopped using the sponge-type brush, I didnt have any more problems. You have to work fairly quickly, too, if you dont thin it with water, because it dries fast. I have seen other people try to use it on furniture like a varnish, but its not meant for that and would not hold up. But it would work for craft products that do not receive heavy wear.
