Royal & Langnickel Essentials acrylic matte medium 250 ml

Mix Royal & Langnickel Essentials Matte Medium into acrylic paint for a matte, non-reflective finish. The medium also increases the paint’s translucency, adhesion and flow. You receive one 250 ml tube. Acrylic paint, a palette and painting tools are not included.

Choose a matte finish for acrylics

Use this medium when you want to reduce the sheen of your acrylic colour. This is the matte version, not a gloss medium or texture paste. The medium is opaque when wet and gives a matte result after drying. Judge the finish from a dry trial rather than just the mixture on your palette. This product is not suitable for mixing into oil paint.

Compare your mixture with the original colour

Gradually mix a small amount of medium into a separate portion of acrylic paint. On the same surface, make a trial of your mixture beside a patch of unmixed paint. Let both dry and compare sheen, translucency and how the paint applies. This helps you choose the amount of medium that suits your colour and work, without using one fixed ratio for every paint. Follow the mixing and drying directions on the packaging.

Safe use

Follow the use and safety labels of the medium and your paint. Close the tube after use and keep your palette and tools clean.
