Daler Rowney Flow Enhancer, 75ml, Acrylic Medium, Improves Flow & Reduces Brush Marks

Volume: 75ml. Type: acrylic medium. Benefits include increased open time, reduced brush marks, non-yellowing formula, and suitability for glazing and fine detail work.

Add a small amount to your acrylic paint to improve flow. Start with about 5–15% by volume and mix thoroughly. Test on a scrap area to dial in the right balance for your brush, stroke style, and paint brand.

Flow Enhancer is formulated to maintain color clarity and reduce yellowing. It helps the paint flow without significantly altering hue or opacity, though very large amounts may slightly alter finish due to dilution.

Ideal for glazing, washes, smoothing textures, and achieving smooth gradients. It’s especially helpful for fine details where extended blending time is beneficial.
