This matte medium was the perfect addition to my collage arsenal. Love the easy, smooth application and the versatile matte finish - allowing me to easily continue adding layers of paint and/more collage.
I mixed these with polymerized linseed oil to make non-toxic oil paints. They are so rich and beautiful!
