Matisse Surface Tension Breaker Medium 250ml 12695-02

Using MM3 Surface Tension Breaker within a water and paint mixture will greatly facilitate colour penetration into absorbent paper or fabric grounds, i.e. raw canvas. It is a valuable additive in stain painting techniques and water wash applications when working on hand-pressed watercolour paper or absorbent, bleached but unprimed canvas.

For best results, the MM3 Surface Tension Breaker should always pre-diluted with the quantity of water used to thin the paint. Prepare a stock jar of water with 5-10% MM3 Surface Tension Breaker and use this water for the painting. MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish (Gloss Medium) and the other mediums, such as MM4 Gel Medium and MM9 Acrylic Painting Medium, can also be treated with MM3
