I love your painting tutorials man, very informative. Just some quick question. You say you use matte medium and I have done a quick bit of hunting and found a UK store that sells Liquitex products, but, there seems to be a lot of different varieties. What is the best one to use and precisely how do you use it and what does it do for your painting? Sorry for all the questions.

Cheers buddy, do you pre-mix and store in bottles or just mix as you go?

Thanks for the help...one last question (honest) do you use the Slow Dri Fluid retarder or Gel retarder?

Thanks again.

Hi LB, well my delivery of the Liquitex products arrived today (I got the 4 you mentioned for £20 - $32 P+P Inc) along with a shed load of Vallejo dropper bottles as I plan to transfer all my paints to them. Just looking for a carousel to store them all now.

Definitely put up some tutorials on Liquitex...just cos I got it don't mean I'm gonna be any good with it! My biggest hurdle is painting flat armour on vehicles where there is no texture. Any hints or tips on doing this properly? As an aircraft painter you probably have no problems.
