Liquitex Professional Fabric Medium

Make colour more adhesive, flexible and workable on all kinds of textiles.

What it does

• Enhances blending and workability of acrylics on textiles and unprimed canvas

• Improves adhesion and colour penetration

• Improves flexibility and reduces dry paint stiffness

• Controls colour bleeding

• Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow

• Gives a consistently even, smooth application

• Improves wet-on-wet blending

• Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability

• Doesn't require heat setting

• Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality

• Can be machine or hand-washed once dry

Use with

• Acrylic paints & mediums

Use on

• All acrylic-friendly surfaces

Techniques

• Textile painting

• Textile stenciling, stamping & printing

• Watercolour textile effects

• Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products

• For best results mix in a 1:1 ratio with Soft Body Acrylic, add more if using Heavy Body to get your desired consistency

• For watercolour effects use 5 parts medium to 1 part Soft Body

• Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear

• Paint on with brush, roller etc, using a thin layer to avoid cracking

• Can be added directly to textile when paint is still wet to blend colour

• No need to iron to set

How not to use it

• Do not shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry

• Do not use with any non-acrylic media

• The thicker you apply it, the less flexible it becomes
