Liquitex Matte Medium - 473ml

No. Liquitex Matte Medium is an acrylic-based product and should not be mixed with oil-based paints.

While it can be used to alter the sheen, it is a painting medium. For final protection, we recommend using a dedicated archival varnish once the painting is fully cured.

Yes, when appropriately diluted with water, it can act as a fixative for dry media like graphite, chalk, or pastel.

Apply thin, even coats and allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next. Avoid thick applications which can create an uneven finish.

When kept properly sealed and stored in a cool environment, the medium has a long shelf life. Do not use if the product has frozen or separated beyond the point of easy remixing.

This is likely caused by over-brushing. Apply the medium with long, smooth strokes and avoid excessive manipulation once it is on the canvas.

Stir the medium gently rather than shaking the bottle. If bubbles appear during mixing, let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the air to escape before application.

Ensure your substrate is free of grease, dust, or oils. If you are painting on a non-porous surface, ensure it has been properly primed with gesso.
