  • Fluid consistency that thins all acrylic paint and mediums.

  • Increases blending time, making blending of colours and detail brushwork easier.

  • Mix with Liquitex acrylic paints and mediums to retard drying time up to 50%.

  • Fluid consistency, made to be used with Liquitex Soft Body Artist Colour and Soft Body mediums.

  • May also be used with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Colour and Heavy Body gel mediums, however thickness of paints and mediums will be reduced to a more fluid consistency. Archival

An additive that slows the drying time of acrylic paints and mediums by up to 40%. An absolutely essential additive if working in drier climates. Mix into the paint when on the palette to slow the skinning-over of paint and increase blending time. Should not add more than 25% as there is no binder and it can weaken the stability of the paint film when too much is added.

  • Your acrylics larder staple

    Always have some lurking. You might think it a little heavy on the pocket. But 1 bottle lasts for ages. I only just bought my second bottle 3 years after the first.
    A real life saver when working with thin paint for blending without pigment graininess. Galeria range is a good fall-back but has a slightly thicker viscosity and feels a bit more "slimey".
