How to use it

Mix as much as you like into acrylic color to create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the more transparent your color will become
Mix into Heavy Body Acrylic to extend volume and maintain viscosity
Mix into Soft Body or Acrylic Ink to extend volume and thicken
This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry - when used very thickly it may dry semi-opaque
Apply with a brush as a collaging glue and fixative

Canvas, wood, Masonite and fabric are all great surfaces for acrylic skins. Just coat the back of the skin with either Liquitex Gloss Medium, Gloss Gel or Gloss Heavy Gel. Then quickly position it onto the support with the wet side down and press. Help the sticking process by leaving it to dry under a weight - simply cover the skin with wax paper before adding weight to prevent sticking. If you're adhering to wood or Masonite, your skin can be stapled to your support, in addition to, or instead of gluing with mediums.
