Mediums allow for a wide range of techniques and effects to enhance your art practice and diversify your portfolio. Each medium is formulated to produce a different result, empowering you to customize each piece and hone your own unique style.

This range of mediums has been designed to add texture to your work, change sheen, and encourage you to experiment with new surfaces.

1. Liquitex Professional Crackle Paste

This new medium creates a structurally stable crackle effect on rigid surfaces that produces a crackled texture and opaque finish as it dries. It can be mixed with color, used on its own or painted over when dry, making it perfect for a distressed, rugged aesthetic.
