Thinning acrylic with water is the easiest thing in the world and also the quickest way to ruin a coat: water dilutes the binder as well, the paint loses cohesion and what is left on the model is patchy and gritty. Flow Medium does the same thinning but keeps the binder in the mix. The paint stays smooth and holds together even in a genuinely thin layer. For the airbrush the maker gives a ratio of three parts medium to one part paint.

Mediums are mixed straight into the paint, so they suit any water-based acrylic – AK 3rd Generation and Ionic Smart Colors alike. Brushes are in the da Vinci category, and further mediums in this category.
How does it differ from water?
Water dilutes everything, the binder that holds the paint together included. Flow Medium thins the consistency but replenishes the binder, so the layer stays cohesive even heavily thinned.
What size is the bottle?
This is the small bottle in the range. The larger 250 ml bottle is here. Check the label for the exact volume of the small one.
Can it be used with other brands?
Yes. It is an acrylic dispersion medium, so it works with any water-based acrylic paint, not only Jo Sonja's.
