Liquitex Gloss Mediums

Give your paint a gloss finish, while thinning and extending its volume. Or use as a collaging adhesive and fixative.

What it does
• Increases surface gloss, colour depth and transparency
• Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
• Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability
• Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality

How to use it
• Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
• Mix with Matte 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 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
• 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
