Liquitex - Acrylic Matte Medium
Acrylic Matte Medium
Extend your acrylics with a velvety matte finish that enhances flow and adhesion
Liquitex Acrylic Matte Medium transforms glossy acrylics into subdued, non-reflective surfaces without compromising paint integrity. The soft body formula integrates seamlessly into color, increasing transparency for glazing techniques while extending working volume when you need to cover larger areas without thinning pigment strength excessively. Beyond finish control, this medium improves paint flow for smoother application and builds flexibility into dried films, essential for paintings on canvas that expand and contract with humidity changes.
The matte sheen eliminates distracting highlights under gallery lighting or when photographing finished work, allowing viewers to focus on color relationships and composition rather than surface glare. Enhanced adhesion properties make this medium valuable for mixed media approaches, creating reliable bonds between acrylic layers and various substrates. Mix directly into colors on your palette to adjust transparency and sheen simultaneously, or apply as an isolation layer between painting stages. Liquitex formulates this medium to maintain the structural qualities that make acrylics durable, your matte surfaces retain the permanence and water resistance that define professional acrylic painting.
