Create custom viscosity and a matte finish without increasing paint transparency.
What it does
Allows you to create a spectrum of viscosities - the more you add the thicker it gets - from an oil paint weight, to a uniquely spongy, cake-like, aerated texture
Gives a matte surface finish
Maintains same levels of transparency and colour
How to use it
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
Start by adding a very small amount of Liquithick to your colour/medium
Mix well with a palette knife, adding more (up to 25% maximum) until you get desired consistency
Once applied, leave to dry for five to seven days for maximum strength and flexibility
How not to use it
As this is an additive – with no acrylic binders - do not add more than 25% to your colour/medium and do not mix with other additives. This can cause excessive shrinkage, cracking and the acrylic film to break down
Do not use with any non-acrylic media
