How to Use -

Application:

Apply the medium with a knife or brush. If needed, thin it with a small amount of distilled water to achieve your desired consistency.

Mixing with Colour:

Start by adding very small amounts of colour to the medium and build up as needed. This allows you to create custom textures and effects. For dramatic reflective effects, mix with transparent or semi-opaque colours or apply the medium 'neat' over dried paint.

Creating Textured Glazes:

To create reflective textured glazes, mix the medium with Gloss Medium and small amounts of Soft Body Acrylics. This combination gives your artwork a unique, glossy finish with added depth and texture.
