Add depth and dimension to your artwork with Professional Acrylic Matte Gel Medium, Clear. This versatile medium thickens acrylic paint for textural applications while maintaining a smooth, matte finish. Use it to extend paint volume, create impasto textures, or as an adhesive for collage and mixed-media work. When mixed with color, it increases body, reduces gloss, and preserves pigment intensity. It can also be used as a clear matte ground or to modify sheen in existing paint layers. Permanent and non-yellowing once dry, this gel medium provides flexible, water-resistant results suitable for both fine art and design applications. Its professional-grade consistency ensures superior control and reliable performance on canvas, wood, and other prepared surfaces.
