Has anyone used this before? I've seen a couple of videos from Pete the Wargamer, where he utilises the medium quite frequently, and I was wondering if this is the same as the Liquitex acrylic matt medium.

 

Pro Acryl advertises this as an alternative on oil washes, but it is water soluble and having the same effect as oil washes (slow drying periods, more working time, can be wiped off with a cloth and so on), supposedly doing the same job as oils but with less fuss:

Artis Opus has a video on it as well. I have a bottle but haven’t had the time to experiment with it yet. I was looking for something that I didn’t need to bother with mineral spirits and Newsh was recommended by some of the local hobbyists.

I tried Newsh out on a couple of barricades. I think it worked pretty well overall. Not better than an oil wash or streaking grime but good enough especially considering the lack of poison and easier clean-up. I'll definitely keep using it for quick work... though the lack of capillary action means I'll stick with oil washed for detailed work like weathering Marines.
