Do's -
- Water can be used to thin it up to 25%, however distilled water will produce the finest results
- To achieve the desired viscosity and transparency, add as much as you wish to acrylic colour; the more you apply, the thinner and more translucent your colour will become
- When stirring, if bubbles emerge, stop immediately and allow them to rise and fall
- This is semi-transparent while dry and opaque when wet
- Use an atomizer or airbrush to apply a mixture of one part medium to one part distilled water to fix pastel, graphite, or chalk
- Use a brush or sponge to apply as a thin collage glue
- Fully compatible with all Liquitex products
Don't -
- Avoid forceful shaking or excessive brushing, which can cause a foggy, hazy appearance when dried
- Use only with acrylic-based media
