Give your paint an ultra matte, opaque finish, while thinning and extending its volume.

What it does

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

How to use it

• Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
• The matt effect is most obvious when mixed with opaque colours
• 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
• When running out of a colour 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
• Do not use with any non-acrylic media
