Mediums for your collage
By art coach | May 15, 2007
What type of medium should I use?
Liquitex Acrylic Mediums are available in several formulations that vary in thickness and sheen. While each medium can be used with a variety of materials, some materials may require a specific medium.
For light weight and flat materials (paper, canvas, etc.) use Liquitex using the fluid or the gel.
For heavy weight and 3-D materials (beads, rocks, etc.): Use Liquitex Gel Mediums.
