Effect medium Liquitex White Flakes

Build flexible, coarse-grade flakey effects with this thick acrylic texture gel! Irregular size and shape white acrylic polymer flakes add dimension and texture to this clear 100% acrylic polymer gel. Liquitex White Flakes effect is highly flexible and adhesive. It dries to an opaque white, rough flakey texture and will not chip or crack on canvas. Can be used on its own, mixed with color or overpainted with acrylics once dry. Apply thickly to create dramatic 3D effects, or finely to give 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
– For a pure white effect, add a small amount of Titanium White color
– For maximum dimension, mix with transparent/semi opaque colors
– For dramatic surface effects and highlights, mix with metallic colors or apply ‘neat’ over dried paint
– Mix with Gloss Medium to create a textured glaze
– Overpaint with opaque colors for foliage effects
– Overpaint when dry with transparent/semi opaque acrylics for different effects
– Can be mixed with acrylic-compatible powdered pigments

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
