It did wind up making the washes thicker which was good in some cases, considering the increased scale of all the features I wanted to shade. The flow aid was great for making the washes thinner. It also had a dilution effect and was great for keeping the wash liquified to move around on the piece. It says to mix it with water, but I found it to give more consistent results just putting some in the wash/medium.

Anyway, the guy I gave it to was pretty ecstatic.
The results:

The wash in the line actually works since it gives a nice texture.
