What it does

Turns satin paint to a dead matte finish with absolutely no sheen
Extends your heavy body paints by up to double volume without affecting acrylic stability, viscosity or color position - ideal when running out of a color mid painting
Maintains opacity levels better than any other Liquitex gel
Increases viscosity of fluid paints, giving a thicker consistency
Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks
Acts as a heavy-duty collaging adhesive
Maintains durability and archival quality

How to use it

Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results
Best used with opaque colors
Mix up to 50% into acrylic color to keep color and opacity the same (more than 50% will act as a pale tinting white)
Apply with a brush as a collaging glue

All of our materials are compatible but if you want to keep Liquitex Acrylic Gouache's formula as matte and opaque as intended, we would recommend using a Liquitex gel medium rather than a fluid medium. The gels have an optimum consistency and Liquitex Ultra Matte Gel is particularly good to use in combination, as it effectively maintains the matte surface shine. Liquitex Light Modeling Paste and Flexible Modeling Paste are also good partners for Acrylic Gouache, while Modeling Paste can be more prone to cracking due to the paint's high pigment level. From the Effects mediums, String Gel and Pouring Medium are recommended.
