Liquitex Matte Fluid Acrylic Mediums
Give your paint a matte finish, while thinning and extending its volume. or use as a collaging adhesive and fixative.
What it does;
- Reduces surface gloss, increases colour depth and transparency.
- Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow.
- Extends your colour 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 colour to create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the thinner and more transparent your colour 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 atomiser 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.
