Professional Acrylic Medium, Matt Medium, 250ml (8.5-oz)

Used this to make airbrush thinner. Works great, have yet to use it for painting but I'm excited to give it a go. Definitely buying again.

As described

I am not professional but have considerable experience with W&N matte varnish at least when airbrushing. In August 2021 I completed preparation of a middle earth poster (also purchased from Amazon) that came with a very glossy finish. After mounting but before framing I airbrushed the poster's surface with W&N matte varnish. The varnish removed the gloss making the map look more realistic. I took a photo with my cell phone (without flash) to show the effect. The left side of the map is how the entire poster actually looks to the eye. The right side of the map is a natural light bloom in the room . The important thing to note is how this skimming light is effectively scattered as it should be with a matte finish. I use this W&N varnish whenever I want a truly matte finish as was also done on this large model airplane. The photo was taken in bright sun and the matte varnish provided the desired dull military like finish while also eliminating any bright reflections. Again I only have airbrush experience with this varnish. When using it in this way a flow improver (also W&N) is - I believe - necessary. The varnish's viscosity and fast drying capability will clog up the airbrush without the flow improver. Also the varnish needs to be properly atomized for application and the flow improver does the job here as well. I add the improver to the airbrush cup in a mix with the varnish. The amount is best learned through experience. I set the airbrush pressure at about 30-35 psi. When airbrushing a little varnish goes a long long way. One additional note is that I have found the varnish to dry "clear" - that is not yellowing or changing the color of the underlying acrylic. (My experience seems to conflict with some other observations.)

Love the gesso. It's been doing exactly what I want with my mixed media art. Only problem I have had was with the container. The tub slid off my table and cracked open pretty badly when it hit the floor. So be careful if you are clumsy, have an uneven smooth work surface or pets.... The cat immediately jumped in the puddle that poured out so had to clean up the cat as well as the floor. I have transferred all the gesso into jars so hopefully it doesn't get wasted.

I took up paint-by-numbers recently and was struggling with paint drying out as well as coverage issues. I was amazed when I started adding this to paint. A few drops in each mini tub of paint works miracles to guarantee better coverage. I really don't know how this works but instead of thinning the paint, like when I added water, it seems to thicken it making covering numbers and lines effortless now. Wish I could go back and redo all the paintings I've done before I used this product. Now I'll just have to buy my favorites again and make them better. The smoothness of the paint and the color sustainability is absolutely wonderful! This size bottle should last a very, very long time and I couldn't be happier!

I bought it to keep the canvas damp for my acrylic paints as they dry so fast. That didn’t work. So I used it to paint over dry, finished paintings to seal the artwork, as the bottle description states. Now I absolutely love this product. It gives a gloss to my finished paintings and I typically paint ocean/water scenes so it really makes the pieces pop. Some reviews mention it being a little pricey but all quality items should be priced accordingly, so, you get what you pay for - and this is worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Excellent transaction. I love "Blick Art" great products, great prices., even though it has been a long while.

Works great on acrylic paint they are horrible

Personalmente utilizzo soltanto questa vernice finale per le mie opere...ottima stesura ed eccellente risultato. Sicuramente non è economica ma preferisco spendere un po' di più ma avere un prodotto che soddisfi a pieno le mie esigenze

Un po' piccolo ma fa il suo lavoro, veramente facilità e velociza il togliere la pittura vecchia

Everything was ok and on time.

Id always used the Daler Roney gloss acrylic varnish but its getting so expensive I thought Id give this a try. You get 100ml more for less money so I was hoping it was going to be ok...well it is! Its in a plastic tub with a silver seal across the varnish. This is quite tricky to remove but manageable with a sharp knife...once you get it started it comes off OK. The varnish is excellent - got a really good smooth finish. It does dry relatively quickly - touch dry in a couple of hours but Id leave it 24 hours to become properly hardened. I used it on a canvas and it leveled out all the small bumps you get on a canvas as long as you apply it liberally enough or put two coats on as I did. The best thing is the tub is big enough to get a brush in so you don't have to pour it into another container. You need to make sure your paint is properly dry though or you will transfer colour to the tub rendering the varnish useless . I will definitely be buying this again as Im getting great quality for less money - win win.

Funciona muy bien
