Acrylic Additives – Liquitex

R399.00R619.00

Professional additives are used to permanently adjust the chemistry and character of your acrylic colour. Made without acrylic binders, these formulas are very different from the rest of the mediums family. Most mediums contain high proportions of acrylic resins, but additives do not. Instead, they offer unique changes – water-like fluidity which makes it ideal for watercolour techniques, staining, or flow art.

Liquitex Flow Aid Additive will dramatically increase the flow of your colour or mediums while minimizing brushstrokes as well as improve the absorbency and blending of colours or mediums.

Liquitex Airbrush Medium can be used to thin colour and mediums to a water-like state ready for airbrush application. Don’t have an airbrush – no problem! You can use it to thin all types of colour or to create excellent washes and stains of colour. It also gives your paint a watercolour effect.

Product features:

  • Use with acrylic paints & mediums.
  • Use on all acrylic-friendly surfaces.
  • Size: 4oz/118ml
  • Non-yellowing.
  • Water-resistant when dry.

Remember that only one additive should be used within a colour mix as combining additives can compromise the paint film stability.

What is the difference between Flow Aid and Pouring medium?

When you use the two different products you’ll quickly see the difference. Pouring Medium keeps a structured, high gloss consistency when mixed with colour, while Flow Aid Additive will instantly thin and increase transparency. Flow Aid breaks the surface tension of the colour and gives it a water-like feel. Pouring Medium also contains acrylic resins and so you can add as much as you like to paint without weakening it, while Flow Aid is a resin-free additive and needs to be diluted before adding to colour.

 


Airbrush Medium

Airbrush painting allows you to create the illusion of shadows, transparency and subtle shading effects that are not easily replicated with traditional brushes or palette knives. This medium can be used to thin colour and mediums to a water-like state ready for airbrush application. Don’t have an airbrush – no problem! You can use it to thin all types of colour or to create excellent washes and stains of colour. It also gives your paint a watercolour effect.

Use it with Acrylic paints & mediums – Liquitex Acrylic Ink doesn’t need thinning, but if you are using a Soft Body paint we recommend thinning with Airbrush Medium, this will ensure that the colours do not lose flexibility, durability and adhesion.

Product features:

  • Gives paint a watercolour effect.
  • Colours do not lose flexibility, durability and adhesion.
  • Use with acrylic paints & mediums.
  • Use on all acrylic-friendly surfaces.
  • Techniques: Airbrushing & spraying, Staining & Fine detail.
  • Size: 4oz/118ml
