Is water the best additive for thinning acrylic color?

You'll get the best performance out of your acrylics if you make use of acrylic mediums to adjust the working properties of the color - save the water for clean up! Water is the solvent for the acrylic/water emulsion that makes up an acrylic paint.

What does Palette Wetting Spray do?

Liquitex Palette Wetting Spray extends the open time of acrylic paints, making them workable for a longer duration. Rinse nozzle after each use to avoid clogging due to dried acrylic resin, and remove any buildup with warm soapy water and a brush.

How do I make my color flow like water, but stay brilliant?

Use Liquitex Acrylic Ink for water-like consistency and rich vibrancy. Alternatively, thin Liquitex Soft Body with Gloss Medium, Matte Medium, or Airbrush Medium for increased flow and color preservation.

What is the difference between Liquitex Flow Aid and Pouring Medium?

Pouring Medium maintains structured, smooth consistency, while Flow Aid instantly thins and adds transparency, breaking surface tension. Pouring Medium contains acrylic resins, whereas Flow Aid is resin-free and needs dilution.

What is the point of a Glazing Medium?

Our Professional Glazing Medium makes it easier to achieve professional results - it increases color transparency, thins and boosts gloss so you can create jewel-like glazes.

Great quality….

This is my “go to” gloss medium for artwork (acrylics) & craft items. It is of high quality, easy to use, self levelling & of course archival. Really makes the colours pop too!

Excellent Amazon service with great product (acrylic based liquid explosives 500).

I have been a long-term customer of Amazon.co.uk for many years and always found their products satisfactory and arrived on time ten out of ten. Recently Purchased the Liquitex 500 Acrylic based medium for my brother, who whilst learning to paint with Acrylics, also required the use of a suitable medium to aid thinning the paints to a softer and easier working viscosity and to add a glossy/glazed finish to his efforts. Ordered on Sunday and despatched by Amazon on same day and out for delivery on the Monday. Excellent service as always Thank you Amazon.co.uk team

Decent price, great sheen and very easy to use.

I used this product for covering ceramic works to make them a bit more durable. I have used on a few projects and so far so good, nice consistency not too thick, product works best of you do 2 thin layers (make sure to let coats dry in between application). Leaves a nice gloss finish, Quick drying. I would re - use and buy buy via Amazon as super quick delivery.

Eccellente medium

Un prodotto di cui non posso più fare a meno da quando l'ho scoperto. Il costo potrebbe sembrare alto ma in realtà non se ne usa molto per cui considerata la quantità il rapporto qualità/prezzo è ottimo. Ne faccio principalmente 2 usi, il primo è come ritardante ed il secondo come vernice finale sul dipinto per renderlo lucdo. Questo secondo utilizzo è quello che faccio sempre. Fornisce una lucentezza e brillantezza meravigliosa oltre che essere anche una protezione. Come lucido dò prima una mano diluita al 25% e poi una seconda mano puro. L'ho usato anche su dipinti fatti a spatola molto materici e la resa è stupenda. Consigliatissimo.
