What it does:
- Dramatically reduces surface gloss to give a dead matte finish with no sheen
- Maintains paint opacity, colour intensity and hue
- Economically extends opaque colour to double amounts without affecting colour or acrylic stability - perfect when underpainting or running out of colour mid way through
- Slows drying time to help you create more subtle colour blends
- Lowers the viscosity of heavier body paints
- Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
- Makes a weak tinting white when you add over 50% of the medium, increasing the value of your original colour by one level
How to use it:
- Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
- The matte effect is most obvious when mixed with opaque colors
- 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
- When running out of a color mid painting, just add an equal volume of this medium to extend it further
- This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry
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
