Sizing Liquid
This professional sizing liquid reduces paper absorbency, creating a more controlled painting surface. On highly absorbent paper it limits water and paint penetration, reducing bleeding and improving colour control, and dries clear without affecting the paper or the appearance of the watercolour.
How to use: Dilute with warm water and apply evenly with a broad brush. Clean brushes thoroughly with soap and water after use.

• Reduces the absorbency of highly absorbent paper.
• Improves control over washes, edges and colour flow.
• Minimises bleeding and excessive paint penetration.
• Dries clear without affecting the finished artwork.
• Dilutes easily with warm water for application.
• Available in 200ml.
