Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish, ensure your artwork is completely dry. The medium is fully intermixable with all Liquitex products. You can mix it with Matte Medium to create a custom satin fluid medium. Dilute with up to 25% water (distilled water is recommended for best results). Mix into acrylic color to create the desired viscosity and transparency, the more you add the thinner and more transparent your color will become. Stir gently to avoid creating foam; if bubbles appear, let them settle. Apply with a brush or sponge. For fixing pastels, graphite or chalk, mix 1 part medium to 1 part distilled water and use an atomizer or airbrush. Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with soap and water. Ensure proper ventilation when applying and storing.
