FolkArt Medium (8-Ounce), 898 Floating

I pass time with paint by numbers. If you have ever done one you know they do not use quality paint. However if you follow the directions in the bottle, it makes the paint to thin, almost translucent. I mix a few good drops into the paint pods and get a very smooth application. It makes terrible paint go on like the highest quality. I do also use this with my high quality acrylic paints with stretched canvas and I love the effects the way it’s supposed to be used! I will never paint without this again.

do not need lots of the product to get good results.

Really, this is my favorite floating medium. And it works as a tintable antiquing gel, plus more. I was attempting to get a very subtle antique look on some furniture - just a barely there look to add dimension, and every product I tried just didn't allow me time to wipe enough color away - even those advertising an hour of work time. I finally remembered my past experiences with Deco products, and this floating medium, and tried spreading a coat on with a foam brush prior brushing my glaze on - working quickly I did 2ft x 4ft areas and found wiping away with my wiping cloths was so much better - left just enough but not too much, and multiple wipes didn't remove the paint underneath. I've also used this for shadow detailing - dipping my brush on both color and gel. And really - what a great price, right? Plus it's clear, dried matte (add your own finish).

Floating medium works great to help blend and make your paints float

Works well to thin the paint by number paints to make brushing smoother and more cleanlu
