Mont Marte Flow Medium

I wanted a thinner to use with those bottles of paint that are getting too thick and dry, so adding a bit of this medium and shaking the bottle well works perfectly. I also use it to thin average acrylics so that they become liquid-ish still maintaining their pigmentation. I've never used this medium for flow acrylic painting, so I can't comment on that. It works well for me. It is a good size mini bottle, a little amount goes a long way, and it is great value for money.

Liquitex Matte Gel Medium Clear 8 oz (237 ml)

I have used many gel mediums brands and textures and this one is probably the best. It has a light Greek yogurt creamy texture, but, once I spread it, it's light and dissolves and spreads beautifully. A bit of product goes a long way, too.

I use it mostly as adhesive and it works greatly with both light papers (rice, tissue, vellum) and with harder papers like printing or average visual diary paper, so it's perfect for my mixed media collage pieces. Unlike other adhesives, it doesn't ruing the paper and it works especially well with tissue paper.

I like the fact that it is in a jar and not a tube, as I can use it to the last drop. On the other hand, I think a wider shorter jar would be better, as use a short brush with my mediums and, now that the jar is getting low in product it's a bit difficult to to put in and out. I will buy again.
