Acrylic slow drying medium is used to extend the working time of acrylic paints, preventing them from drying too quickly. Liquitex Professional Fluid Slow-Drying Medium is a recommended brand.
Here's how to use it effectively:
- Mixing: Mix the slow-drying medium directly with your acrylic paints on your palette. The ratio of medium to paint can vary depending on the desired effect and drying time. Start with a small amount and gradually increase it until you achieve the consistency and working time you need.
- Application: Apply the paint-medium mixture as you would normally apply acrylic paint.
- Benefits: Slow drying mediums helps to keep your paints workable for longer and therefore blend colours on your canvas.
