Liquitex Texture Gel Glass Beads 8oz

These texture gels contain particles that produce a variety of unique textural and dimensional effects. They may be mixed with acrylic colors, other mediums, or used on their own. Dry Texture Gels can be over-painted with acrylic or oil colors and can be used as an under painting textural ground. Mix any texture gels together to achieve unique surfaces.
