Dramatically reduces surface gloss to give a dead matte finish with no sheen
Maintains paint opacity, color intensity and hue
Economically extends opaque color to double amounts without affecting color or acrylic stability - perfect when underpainting or running out of color mid way throughÂ
Slows drying time to help you create more subtle color 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 color 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
