Derivan Matisse Fluid Mediums Surface Tension Breaker is an acrylic flow medium that can also be used with watercolor and airbrush. Added to water and paint mixtures, it helps colors penetrate absorbent surfaces such as watercolor paper and raw or unprimed canvas. It is ideal for stain painting and water-wash techniques.
For best results, pre-dilute Surface Tension Breaker in the water used to thin your paint. Prepare a stock solution containing 5-10% Surface Tension Breaker and use this throughout your painting. It can also be added to water-diluted Matisse Polymer Gloss Varnish, Gel Medium, and Acrylic Painting Medium.
For stain painting on raw or unprimed canvas, pre-wash the fabric with a diluted Surface Tension Breaker solution, or brush the solution directly onto stretched canvas and allow it to dry.
Airbrush use: Mix 1 part Surface Tension Breaker with 9 parts water, then use this solution to thin Matisse Structure or Flow Formula acrylics to the desired consistency.
