Our Acrylic Medium Blend is a versatile product made of acrylic medium and other ingredients designed to modify and enhance the quality of acrylic paints.

Characteristics of Acrylic Medium Blend
Adaptability: Acrylic medium mix can be adapted to the artist's specific needs, whether it is a glossy finish, a matte look, or a particular texture.
Extended drying time: It can extend the drying time of acrylic paint, making it easier to mix and apply layers.
Transparency: Using medium can increase the transparency of the paint, which is useful for techniques such as glazes and waxes.
Improved Adhesion: It can improve the adhesion of paint to different surfaces, making it ideal for mixed media and different painting techniques.
How to Use:
1. Preparation:
Make sure your workspace is clean and well lit. Place all your materials with ease, including the acrylic paint and acrylic medium blend.
2. Choose Your Colors:
Place a small amount of acrylic paint in the colors you wish to use on your palette.
3. Add Acrylic Medium Blend:
Add a small amount of the acrylic medium blend to the acrylic paint on your palette. Start with a ratio of about 1 part medium to two parts paint and adjust as needed.
4. Mix carefully:
Use a palette knife or paintbrush to carefully mix the medium into the paint. Make sure the mixture is smooth and even consistent.
5. Test the consistency:
Test the mixture on a small piece of paper or canvas to see if it has the desired characteristics. Check that the mixture applies well and has the right transparency.
6. Applying to the canvas:
Use a brush to apply the acrylic medium mixture to your canvas. Work in layers if necessary and allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next one.
7. Experiment:
Feel free to try with different proportions and techniques. Try blending, glazing or impastoing with your mixture.
8. Clean up:
Clean your brush and palette immediately with water after use to prevent the paint from drying and damaging the hairbrushes.
