Falling in Art Clear Gel Acrylic Medium 500ml Gloss — Heavybody Texture & Adhesive for Impasto

Falling in Art Clear Gel Acrylic Medium is a thick, glossy 500ml acrylic gel that builds texture, increases body, and bonds mixed-media elements without altering pigment colour.

This multipurpose gel medium gives painters and mixed-media artists a reliable way to add dimension, gloss, and adhesive strength to acrylic work. Wet it appears translucent and creamy, allowing you to sculpt peaks and hold brushstrokes; when it dries it becomes clear and glossy so colours remain vivid while surface depth increases. The formula is non-toxic and suited to layering, priming, and combining with additives like sand or collage materials.

How does this gel medium create impasto texture?

The gel’s heavyweight, creamy body is designed to retain peaks and brush marks so you can sculpt thick passages that stand proud of the canvas. It holds shape while drying, letting you build three-dimensional surfaces without sagging.

• Thick consistency holds knife and brush strokes
• Dries clear to preserve underlying colour saturation
• Use directly from the tub for high-relief effects
• Can be mixed with acrylic paint for tinted texture

Can I use this as an adhesive for mixed-media pieces?

Yes — the gel serves as a strong bond for heavier additions like sand, small found objects, or layered paper. Its tacky texture grips materials while remaining transparent after curing, so added elements stay secure without obscuring colour or detail.

• Effective for embedding sand and grit into surfaces
• Adheres paper, fabric, and lightweight objects reliably
• Apply thick layers where extra holding power is needed
• Compatible with acrylic paints and most acrylic surfaces

Will it change my paint’s colour or finish?

The medium is translucent when wet and turns clear as it cures, so it won’t tint pigments or muddy colours. It also increases gloss and depth, making colours appear more luminous while adding protective body to the paint layer.

• Transparent when dry — preserves original hues
• Adds gloss and visual depth without yellowing
• Mix with acrylic paint to adjust viscosity and sheen
• Can be used as a clear primer or topcoat layer

How do I apply and clean up this medium safely?

Apply with palette knives, brushes, or directly from the tub depending on the effect you want; for sharp peaks use a stiff knife, for smoother blends use a bristle brush. Clean uncured product with warm soapy water; once cured it must be removed mechanically.

• Use palette knives for heavy texture, brushes for smoothing
• Thin with water slightly — test before large mixes
• Clean tools promptly with soap and water
• Store tub tightly closed to prevent skinning
