From the manufacturer:
Matte Medium:
- Reduces surface gloss, increases color depth and transparency
- Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
- Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
- Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
- Mix as much as you like into acrylic color to create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the thinner and more transparent your color will become
- Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results
- Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear
- This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry
- Mix with Gloss Medium to create a custom satin fluid medium
Glazing Medium:
- Increases color depth, transparency and surface gloss
- Dries quickly for rapid layering
- Lowers viscosity and minimizes brush strokes
- Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
- Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
- Use with transparent and semi-transparent colors for rich glazed effects. Mix with Slo-Dri Medium or Slow-Dri Fluid Additive if you want to extend working time.
- Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results
- Mix as much as you like into acrylic color to create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the thinner and more transparent your color will become
- Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear. Apply to dry, painted areas to change coloration without losing established detail.
- Color will temporarily lighten and then return to its original level when dry
