The Story
Lahmian Medium is the painter's quiet workhorse — a matt medium you mix with any Citadel paint to make your own glazes, smooth transitions and subtle tints without watering the colour down to nothing. It thins paint while keeping the pigment working, so your shading stays controlled and your highlights blend instead of streaking. Once you've got a pot on the desk, you'll reach for it constantly.
