Why is my Liquitex paint not giving me a satin finish?
Liquitex acrylics naturally give you a rich and vibrant satin finish – aside from matte Acrylic Gouache – so it may be that you’re adding too much water and spreading (underbinding) the paint film. Try adding Gloss Medium or Gloss Gel instead of water and you’ll amplify color vibrancy and depth rather than detracting from it.
