Liquitex Matte Medium: Smooth Matte Control and Versatile Acrylic Enhancement
Liquitex Matte Medium is a fluid acrylic medium designed to give your acrylic paints a matte, non-reflective finish while extending their performance and versatility. By reducing gloss and increasing transparency, it allows artists to create softer blends, more subtle glazing, and greater depth in their work. It also thins heavier paints, making them easier to manipulate without sacrificing color integrity.
This medium is highly flexible—it can be mixed with Gloss Medium for custom satin or semi-gloss finishes, used as a glue in collage work, or applied as a base layer for drawing and painting once dry. It maintains the durability, adhesion, and archival quality of your acrylics while opening up creative possibilities.
