Liquitex Professional Satin Medium 237ml / 8oz

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

• Gives color a satin finish, increases 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
• Use as a non-removable varnish to protect paintings and establish a satin surface sheen
• Ideal to use as a glue when collaging with lightweight materials
• Transfers printed images
• Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
• 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
• 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.
