Liquitex Professional Ultra Matte Fluid Medium, 16-oz
Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process.  Liquitex Fluid Mediums perform much in the way that their name implies, they are fluid in nature and reduce viscosity of heavier paints and gels. They tend to self-level and do not retain brushstrokes. Liquitex Fluid Mediums modify acrylic paints in a variety of ways and contain acrylic resins to maintain or enhance adhesion and durability. Liquitex Ultra Matte Medium Fluid Painting Medium increases the volume of paint while maintaining the opacity of the color it is mixed into.  Economically doubles the volume of paint by adding up to an equal amount (50%) of medium to color with little or no noticeable loss in opacity or change in hue.  Opacity of colors mixed with Liquitex Ultra Matte Medium will be higher than if the color had been thinned to the same degree with any other medium, except Modeling Paste.  The degree to which the color can be extended will vary among the different pigments.  When over 50% is added, Liquitex Ultra Matte Medium can act as a weak tinting white, increasing the value of the original color approximately one level; light colors will be affected less than dark colors.  Colors mixed with Liquitex Ultra Matte Medium dry to a matte finish. APPLICATIONS: AS GOUACHE: Mix with opaque paint for a matte sheen and gouache (opaque watercolor) look.   These "gouache" colors are water resistant flexible lightfast and permanent when dry. Traditional gouache colors are not permanent and are susceptible to accidental re-wetting and must be well protected when finished.   Use when running out of color during painting.  When you have reached the halfway point of painting a specific area, determine if you have enough paint to finish. If not, add an equal amount of Liquitex Ultra Matte Medium to the color, enabling you to finish painting without remixing. Visit our Liquitex Amazon Storefront for full product assortment.
