How to use it

• Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
• Apply with knife or brush
• Can be thinned with small amount of distilled water if required
• Mix with different consistencies and ratios of acrylic color/medium to create custom texture
• Start by adding very small amounts of color and build up as needed
• Overpaint when dry with acrylic/oil color
• To use as a ground - apply a thin layer to surface and leave to dry
• Apply thickly for sculptural texture
• Mix with Gloss Medium to create a textured glaze
• For dramatic reflective effects, mix with transparent/semi-opaque colors or apply 'neat' over dried paint
• For reflective textured glazes, mix with Gloss Medium and small amounts of Soft Body

How not to use it

• If varnishing, don't be too vigorous as this can cause clouding or foaming - spray varnish will give best results
