What it does

Reduces surface gloss, increases color depth and transparency

Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow

Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability

Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality

How to use it

Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products

Mix with Gloss Medium to create a custom satin fluid medium

Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results

Mix as much as you like into acrylic color to create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the thinner and more transparent your color will become

Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear

This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry

To fix pastel, graphite or chalk, mix 1 part medium to 1 part distilled water and apply with an atomizer or airbrush

Apply with a brush/sponge as a lightweight collaging glue

How not to use it

Do not shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry

Do not use with any non-acrylic media
