Key Features

This is the best way to improve flow - thinning acrylic paint with water will give you less intense color and poorer all-round performance
Increases surface gloss, color depth and transparency
Thins heavier body paints, giving increased flow
Makes your color go further without affecting stability
Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality

How to Use

Mix with Matte Fluid Medium to create a custom satin finish
Can be thined 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 consistency 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 bubble rise and disappear
Apply with a brush/sponge as a light collaging glue

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.
