Citadel Technical Lahmian Medium is the all-purpose paint thinner and glazing medium in the Citadel range — a colourless liquid that thins acrylic paints without reducing their binding properties the way water alone does. Thinned with Lahmian Medium, any Citadel paint becomes a glaze: transparent, smooth and easy to blend.
Mix directly in a wet palette with any Citadel paint — typically a 1:1 to 1:2 ratio of paint to medium, depending on how transparent you need the glaze. Use glazes to add colour to shadow areas without fully covering the surface, to blend highlight transitions, and to adjust the tone of any colour that has gone wrong after highlighting. Also works as a medium for Contrast paints to slow their drying time.
One of the most useful tools in a painter's toolkit — glazing is the technique that separates good blending from great blending. A pot lasts a long time at typical usage rates. In stock at BuzzPaints — free UK delivery on all orders.
