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.
