Liquitex Professional Acrylic Medium for Arcylic Paint, Modelling Paste, 946 ml

Great quality and amount for your money for once in this mad world.

super ok

I'm a miniature painter and have taken to using Acrylic Medium for thinning my paints as opposed to water. I uae Citadel paint hence strated with their brand of Medium but at around £2 for 12ml.. this would have been ridiculously expensive in the long term. Liquitex have agood reputation to I bought nearly half a litre of their Matt Acrylic Medium for around £15.. the citadel equivalent would have cost me £80!This stuff is a lot thicker and opaque than the Citadel medium. So it can't be used neat. I found I needed to mix at least 1:1 medium:water to get an acceptable consistency. There appears to be no effect on the lightness of the paint & dries clear.In comparison to my previous Medium, this isn't quite as good.. perhaps due to having to use a LOT of water thus reducing the benefit?However, overall, I'm quite happy with the purchase. Used with Flow Aid & Retarder, it makes the basis for quite a powerful mix.

Mixes nicely with acrylic paint and keeps colour so if you want it more washy add water.

Brilliant

Large tub for a great price. Recieved quick, packeged well with a sealed lid. The actual paste is a bright (titanium) white colour, not too thick or thin - a perfect consistency (It's a bit like peanut butter) and matt. I use it on stretched canvases for abstract painting using pallette knives. Very easy to use and spread, dries quite quickly, I would say approximatly half hour to an hour or so and the look at the end is amazing. The paste is great for creating some 3-D effects and giving paintings depth and texture.There is one minor issue that I found. This could be because I use this on canvas: The paste, once dried, cracks quite easily. Solution: I apply a paint sealer and it gives it a fantastic protection film.Overall, amazing product. Would definetly buy again.

Used it to substate some plain duck canvas for this painting and after 4 coats on a 4.5 foot by 2.6 foot canvas with sanding on the last 2 layers it provided a fantastic surface to paint and draw on.And I still have enough left for another canvas the same size.I will definitely be using Liquitex again for my next portraitAlso it's not beige (as the description strangely says), it's pure white as you can see in this photo all the white is the gesso showing there is no actual white paint in this painting at all.

The media could not be loaded. I’m really torn with this product as for some paintings it was clear and very quick drying. Other paintings particularly on wooden surfaces it was yellow and streaky. As you can see in the photo provided it’s really inconsistent which is a shame.
