Liquitex Matte Medium, 473ml

Liquitex, with the broadest range of acrylic mediums available, aims to inspire creativity throughout the painting process. Liquitex Fluid Mediums, true to their name, are fluid in nature and effectively reduce the viscosity of heavier paints and gels. They have self-leveling properties and eliminate visible brushstrokes. These mediums modify acrylic paints in various ways, containing acrylic resins that enhance adhesion and durability.

One standout product is the Liquitex Matte Medium Fluid Painting Medium, which produces a matte, non-reflective finish when mixed with acrylic colors. It can be added to any acrylic paint to enhance transparency, extend color, increase matte sheen, improve paint flow, and boost film integrity. Mixing it with Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish results in a semi-gloss or satin finish. This medium is opaque when wet and translucent when dry.

There are several applications for Liquitex Matte Medium Fluid Painting Medium. As an extender, it can be mixed with Liquitex Soft Body Artist Color to increase volume and translucency while maintaining viscosity. When mixed with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color or Basics Acrylic Color, it extends volume and translucency while decreasing paint viscosity. As a fixative, it can be used over artwork to reduce gloss or shine by mixing it with distilled water in equal parts and applying with an atomizer or airbrush.

Moreover, Liquitex Matte Medium Fluid Painting Medium serves as an excellent transparent ground (size) with superior tooth and adhesion instead of gesso. This allows the support's color and texture to shine through. For exterior murals on smooth surfaces, a coat of Matte Medium should be brushed or sprayed on before applying gesso.

Lightweight and non-toxic, this Liquitex product comes in a 16-oz/473ml bottle and is intermixable with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colors and Mediums. It complies with ASTM D4236 standards, making it safe for educational use. For a full product assortment, visit the Liquitex Amazon Storefront.
