Creates a matte, non-reflecting finish when added to acrylic colors.
Mix into any acrylic paint to increase transparency and extend color, increase
matte sheen, increase film integrity, ease flow of paint and add flexibility and
adhesion of paint film.
Mix with Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish to produce a semi-gloss or satin
medium.
Opaque when wet, translucent when dry.
- Texture: Fluid
- Sheen: Matte
- Relative Opacity: Transparent
APPLICATION AS AN EXTENDER:
Mix with Liquitex Soft Body Artist Color to extend volume and increase
translucency, while maintaining viscosity.
Mix with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color or Basics Acrylic Color to extend
volume and increase translucency, while decreasing paint viscosity.
APPLICATION AS AÂ FIXATIVE:
Use as a matte fixative over artwork (pastel, graphite, chalk) to decrease gloss
or shine. Mix 1Â part Matte Medium to 1Â part distilled water and apply with
atomizer or airbrush. Excess medium applied to the surface may cause
fogging.
APPLICATION AS AÂ GROUND:
Recommended fluid medium to use as a transparent ground (size), with excellent
tooth and adhesion, instead of gesso. This will allow the color and texture of
the support to show through. Can be used as a substitute for the rabbit skin and
hide glue size traditionally used for oil paintings.
For best results use Liquitex Clear Gesso which has more tooth for paint and
pastels.
Exterior Murals: If the support or wall is somewhat smooth, a coat of Matte
Medium should be brushed or two coats sprayed onto the surface prior to
gessoing
