Key Features
  • Extends the open time of your color/medium by 40% so it is blendable and workable for longer
  • Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
  • Gives softer edges and great color blends. Increases transparency
  • Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
  • Increases surface gloss, color depth and transparency
How to Use
  • Mix as much as you like into acrylic color/medium to create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the thinner and more transparent your color will become
  • Can be thined by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results
  • Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear
  • If you're working over a long period of time, mix into color on the palette to keep it fresh and skin-free for longer
  • This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry

Lightfastness | How long will it resist fading?

  • Each pigment is rated on scale by the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). Liquitex paints are all rated ASTM I (excellent) or II (very good) and considered permanent and lightfast for 50-100+ years in gallery conditions. Our metallic and fluorescent colors are naturally less lightfast.

Opacity/Transparency | We communicate opacity/transparency clearly on our packaging based on three categories:

  • Opaque: these colors do not allow light to pass through the color layer and offer the best coverage or hiding power.
  • Semi-opaque: these allow for some light to pass through the color layer and sit between opaque and transparent colors
  • Transparent: these colors offer the least coverage and allow light to pass through the color layer to the surface below.
  • Series:
    Pigments come from a variety of sources and have different prices according to their rarity, processing and milling costs. We group our colors into a 'series' pricing structure according to how much each one takes to make. Series 1 colors contain the most inexpensive pigments, while Series 4 and 5 color contain the most expensive pigments.
