What it does
  • This is the best way to improve flow - thinning acrylic paint with water will give you less intense color and poorer all-round performance
  • Increases surface gloss, color depth and transparency
  • Thins heavier body paints, giving increased flow
  • Makes your color go further without affecting stability
  • Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
How to use it
  • Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products - Basics and Professional
  • Mix with Matte Fluid Medium to create a custom satin finish
  • Can be thined 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 consistency 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 bubble rise and disappear
  • Apply with a brush/sponge as a light collaging glue
How not to use
  • 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
