Description

Matte Medium is medium viscosity and creates a matte, non-reflecting finish when added to acrylic colours. Mix it into any acrylic paint to increase transparency, matte and film integrity, extend colour, ease flow of paint and add flexibility and adhesion of paint film. Mix with Gloss Medium to produce a semi-gloss or satin medium. It is opaque when wet and translucent when dry.

What it does

• Reduces surface gloss, increases color depth and transparency
• Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
• Extends your color 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 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
• 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 atomizer 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
