Speed drying and create matte effects in water-mixable oil paintings

Translucent matte surfaces develop faster when you need them. Quick Dry Mat Paste accelerates the drying time of water-miscible oils while transforming their natural sheen into a soft, non-reflective finish. Formulated specifically for Holbein Duo Aqua Oils but compatible with any water-mixable oil paint, this medium integrates smoothly into your paint, maintaining workability while reducing wait times between layers.

The matte effect responds to water dilution, thin the paste to achieve varying degrees of sheen control, from subtle reduction to pronounced flatness. This flexibility lets you adjust surface quality to match specific passages within a single painting. The medium maintains paint translucency rather than creating opacity, preserving color depth while changing texture.

Apply in moderate layers to avoid surface wrinkling, a consideration when building substantial texture or impasto effects. For artists working in water-miscible oils who want matte surfaces without extended drying times, this medium delivers both objectives simultaneously. The translucent quality makes it particularly effective for glazing techniques where you need both quick turnaround and controlled sheen.
