Matte Acrylic Medium for Extending, Matting, and Glazing
This 100% acrylic polymer emulsion is formulated with matting agents to reduce the gloss of acrylic paints while increasing translucency and extending paint volume. With a fluid consistency, it is especially effective when used with fluid acrylics, helping to lower sheen without altering the natural flow and viscosity of the paint.
It also functions as a translucent ground, making it suitable for preparing smooth, matte surfaces for painting or drawing. This versatile medium supports a variety of techniques including glazing, pouring, and detailed brushwork. While not intended as a final varnish, it enhances the handling qualities and finish of acrylic colors.
