  • Use MM38 acrylic thickener as an alternative to adding gels and other impasto or building mediums to paint which work by imparting their own thicker bulk to a paint mix. This medium chemically thickens the paint. It is a rheology modifier, that is, it changes the flow and viscosity of the paint, without losing any colour. You may notice a reduced sheen in some colours once dried film which can be adjusted with varnish once dry.

    Application / Use

    • Add a few drops to acrylic paint and work it into the paint with a pallet knife.
    • Continue to work the paint with the pallet knife until you see the paint thicken.

    Method:

    Each Matisse paint colour will require a different amount to be added to reach the same consistency. Different colours may require differing amounts of the medium. Compatible with all Matisse acrylic colours.
