MM37 Matisse Self Levelling Medium is a clear product that when applied to a surface or as a paint additive will automatically spread and create a smooth, glossy finish with minimal surface texture. It is ideal for high gloss thick varnishing, pouring and marbling techniques. Apply with a brush, palette knife or jug. Can be tinted with Matisse Flow Acrylics or Matisse Inks. There are many application methods for this product, providing the artists with a myriad of possibilities. It can be tinted with the addition of Matisse Ink or Matisse Flow Acrylic Paint. Using ink will maintain transparency and a glossy finish, while the use of acrylic paint will make the final result more opaque and less glossy. Only a small amount (less than 10%) of either paint or ink is required. If you are using Self Levelling Medium for acrylic pouring techniques, you can adjust the viscosity by adding up to 20% water to it. As this product is white in the container, the addition of colour will initially produce a pastel blend, but this will develop into a bright, transparent colour after the drying process is completed. This drying time must be taken into account when applying multiple layers of colour if the artist wants to see how the colour will develop between layers.
