What it does
- Increases color depth, transparency and surface gloss
- Dries quickly for rapid layering
- Lowers viscosity and minimizes brush strokes
- Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
- Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
How to use it
- Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
- Use with transparent and semi-transparent colors for rich glazed effects
- Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results
- Mix as much as you like into acrylic color 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
- Color will temporarily lighten and then return to its original level when dry
- Mix with Slo-Dri Medium or Slow-Dri Fluid Additive if you want to extend working time
- Let each layer dry completely before applying the next
- Apply to dry, painted areas to change coloration without losing established detail
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
