Professional Glazing Medium
Key Features
- Increases color depth, transparency and surface gloss
- Dries quickly for rapid layering
- Lowers viscosity and minimizes brush strokes
- Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
- Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
How to Use
- Use with transparent and semi-transparent colors for rich glazed effects. Mix with Slo-Dri Medium or Slow-Dri Fluid Additive if you want to extend working time.
- 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. Apply to dry, painted areas to change coloration without losing established detail.
- Color will temporarily lighten and then return to its original level 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.
