Liquitex Iridescent Medium gives a smooth iridescent appearance, increases paint transparency, extends your color without affecting acrylic stability, helps slow the drying time to help you create more subtle color blends, lowers the viscosity of heavier body paints, and maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality. Can be thinned by diluting with up to 30% water - distilled water will give best results Mix as much as you like into acrylic color to create the iridescence and viscosity you want Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear Do not shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry. Medium may temporarily lighten colors until dry.
