• A unique formulation that extends drying time up to 40% for blending with acrylics 
• Adds flow to Liquitex Heavy Body Professional Artist Color and is similar in body to Liquitex Soft Body Professional Artist Color.
• Mix any amount into color to enhance the depth of color intensity, increase transparency, gloss, ease flow of paint, and add flexibility and adhesion to paint film 
• Dries clear to reveal full, rich color 
• Unlike retarding additives, any quantity may be added to color without jeopardizing the strength of the paint film 
• Translucent when wet, transparent when dry 
• Flexible, non-yellowing and water resistant when dry.

Applications as an Extender

• Mix with Liquitex Soft Body Professional Artist Color to lengthen drying time, extend volume, and increase transparency while maintaining paint viscosity and flow. 
• Mix with Liquitex Heavy Body Professional Artist Color to slow drying time, extend volume, and increase transparency while thinning the acrylic paint. 

Applications as a Fixative

Use as a fixative over artwork (acrylic paint, pastels, graphite, chalk) to increase gloss or shine. Increased drying time allows for working the media on the surface prior to final fixing. Use an atomizer or airbrush filled with a mixture of one part medium, one part water.
