An essential medium for creating softer edges and modelled forms, this medium extends the “open” time of acrylics by more than 40%, allowing you to manipulate the paint for better colour blending. You can incorporate up to 50% of this medium, as it includes a binder that maintains the integrity of the paint film, unlike the additive version. It dries clear, showcasing the full, rich colour. In contrast to retarding additives, any amount can be added to the colour without compromising the strength of the paint film.

Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Liquitex Fluid Mediums perform much like their name implies; they are fluid in nature and reduce the viscosity of heavier paints and gels. They tend to self-level and do not retain brushstrokes. Liquitex Fluid Mediums modify acrylic paints in various ways and contain acrylic resins to maintain or enhance adhesion and durability.

Liquitex Slow-Dri Blending Medium Fluid Painting Medium is a unique formulation that extends drying time up to 40% for blending with acrylics. It adds flow to Liquitex Heavy Body Professional Artist Colour and is similar in body to Liquitex Soft Body Professional Artist Colour.

APPLICATIONS AS EXTENDER: Combine with Liquitex Soft Body Colour to prolong drying time, increase volume, and enhance transparency while preserving paint viscosity and flow. Combine with Liquitex Heavy Body Colour to slow down drying time, increase volume, and improve transparency while thinning the acrylic paint.

AS FIXATIVE: Use to increase gloss or shine; increases drying time. Use an atomizer or airbrush filled with a mixture of one part medium and one part water. Use as a fixative over artwork (acrylic paint, pastels, graphite, chalk) to increase gloss or shine. The increased drying time allows the media to be worked on the surface before final fixing.
