Liquids
Two consistencies of Prima® Acrylic Mediums are available for the artist: Liquid Mediums and Gel Mediums. Prima® Liquid Mediums range from a thin, water-like liquid, to a light cream consistency, depending on the individual medium. Unlike Prima® Gel Mediums, which support the body of acrylic paints, Liquid Mediums will thin the paint according to individual medium application and amount used.

Flow MediumThins acrylic paint and produces a smooth flow and workability. It improves color blending, minimizes brush strokes and levels acrylics for more even, predictable paint coverage.

It dries flexible and will not peel off. No. 2857 - 118ml bottle |
