Winsor & Newton 3040932 Slow Drying Medium - Acrylic Drying Retardant - 250 ml bottle

if you haven't ever used this glaze, then try it. it's wonderful stuff. I've been using it with transparent inks, partly as a varnish but also to spread the inks across the canvas. Once you drop it on top of ink it reacts with the colours to leave beautiful, random patterns, and then dries with a beautiful gloss, keeping the colours rich and transparent for ever and a day. It's easy to use too, and washes off if you make a mistake. It takes quite a long time to dry, but the effects are stunning. No nasty smells either. Perfect for young artists experimenting with colours or professionals alike. I can't get enough of the stuff!

Good and even glazing and mixing with a clear finish and true paint colour.

If you are often using Acrylic paints, you'll probably find you want to experiment. Gel helps create volume and can be the vehicle for additions to the texture, like sand. It can be even used like a glue in collage. Also, if you coat a canvas with it, you can transfer laser printed pictures onto the canvas and create an image. There are several U-tube videos that are helpful in how to use the various gels available.

I bought this extender to use with my acrylics to enable better blending. So far I have used it once and I am very pleased with the results.

Last a long time work well would bye again

Thanks

This varnish is very easy to use. Goes a long way. I pour a little at a time into a shallow bowl and apply with a one inch brush. It drys quickly and twenty four hours after first coat I apply the second. The painting is then protected.

Went on alright but has left the surface tacky
