Liquitex Iridescent Medium is a versatile and exciting addition to any artist's toolkit, designed to add a rich, metallic or pearlescent effect to acrylic colours. This medium enhances the richness of paints, creating a shimmering or sparkling effect that can make artwork stand out. It dries translucent, ensuring that colours remain vibrant and true without any oxidation over time. Whether you're looking to add a subtle shimmer or a bold metallic finish, this medium is perfect for achieving unique and dramatic effects.

• Gives a smooth iridescent appearance
• Increases paint transparency
• Extends your colour without affecting acrylic stability
• Slows drying time to help you create more subtle colour blends
• Lowers the viscosity of heavier body paints

How to Use -

Thinning - Dilute with up to 30% water for best results, using distilled water for optimal clarity and finish.

Mixing - Mix as much as you like into your acrylic colour to achieve the desired iridescence and viscosity. This medium is fully intermixable with all Liquitex products, giving you endless creative possibilities.

Stirring - Stir gently to avoid creating foam. If bubbles appear, let the mixture sit until they rise and disappear, ensuring a smooth application.

Application - Apply the mixed medium on top of any dry colour to add unique effects. For the most dramatic results, mix with transparent colours. Use on its own to add surface highlights that catch the light and draw attention.

Drying - Be aware that the medium may temporarily lighten colours until fully dry. Avoid shaking or vigorously over-brushing as this can result in a foggy, hazy appearance when dried.
