Liquitex Professional Ultra Matte Medium 16oz – Little Painter Art | Exploring the Endless Possibilities of Art^ Sale

Description

• Give your paint an ultra matte, opaque finish, while thinning and extending its volume.
• Dramatically reduces surface gloss to give a dead matte finish with no sheen
• Maintains paint opacity, color intensity and hue
• Economically extends opaque color to double amounts without affecting color or acrylic stability – perfect when underpainting or running out of color mid way through
• Slows drying time to help you create more subtle color blends
• Lowers the viscosity of heavier body paints
• Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
• Makes a weak tinting white when you add over 50% of the medium, increasing the value of your original color by one level
• The matte effect is most obvious when mixed with opaque colors
• 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
• When running out of a color mid painting, just add an equal volume of this medium to extend it further
• This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry
• 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
• The Cincinnati, Ohio based company Permanent Pigments created Liquitex, the first water-based acrylic paint for artists in 1955.  The name Liquitex stands for “Liquid texture.”  The Liquitex brand has been at the forefront of paint ever since, leading the industry with a number of firsts, Gloss and Matte Meduims, Hue colours in place of more expensive pigments, iridescent acrylics and many more.
