Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish 237ml/946ml

Give your paint a gloss finish, while thinning and extending its volume. Or use as a collaging adhesive and fixative.

What it does

• Increases surface gloss, color depth and transparency
• Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
• 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
• Mix with Matte Medium to create a custom satin fluid medium
• 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
• This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry
• To fix pastel, graphite or chalk, mix 1 part medium to 1 part distilled water and apply with an atomizer or airbrush
• Apply with a brush/sponge as a lightweight collaging glue

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
