What it does
Extends the open time of your color/medium by 40% so it is blendable and workable for longer
Increases transparency
Gives softer edges and great color blends
Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
Increases surface gloss, color depth and transparency
Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
Ideal for dry and hot climates
How to use it
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
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/medium 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
If you're working over a long period of time, mix into color on the palette to keep it fresh and skin-free for longer
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
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
