Techniques
Mix small amounts of Flow Medium with paint using a brush or palette knife, beginning with an approximate ratio of 2 parts paint to 1 part Flow Medium until desired consistency is achieved. Water has a diluting effect on the pigment and adhesive qualities of acrylic. Its use should be kept to a minimum.
Flow Medium may be used to thin colours for basecoating on any surface that a smooth coat is desired including metal surfaces.
Dry thoroughly. The addition of Flow Medium may delay drying time. A hair dryer may be used to speed surface drying.
Dry a minimum of 48 hours before varnishing. Allow additional time depending on climate and humidity or if excessive medium is used.
Airbrush artists may use Flow Medium to dilute Chroma’s Jo Sonja Artists’ or Background Colours beginning with a ratio of 1:1. A small amount of water may also be necessary for an even flow.

Note: The addition of water to thin Jo Sonja Artists’ Colours or Jo Sonja Background Colours may over-dilute the paint causing poor coverage and adhesion to some surfaces.
