If you're working over a long period of time, mix into colour on the palette to keep it fresh and skin-free for longer
How not to use it
As this is an additive – with no acrylic binders - do not add more than 25% to your colour/medium and do not mix with other additives. This can cause the acrylic film to break down, leaving it sticky and prone to shrinkage
