About this deal

Flow Improvers must be diluted with water, when used this way the thin acrylic colour and increase flow without separating the binder from the pigment. A selection of acrylic Gloss Mediums, adding some is great way to increase the intensity of acrylic colours. GOLDEN Retarder - Slows water evaporation from acrylic paints and increases open time up to 40%. Mix with paint on palette to prevent skinning and keep colours workable for longer over extended painting sessions. This canvas has been primed with white, clear and grey gesso and then left unprimed on the far right side. You can see how the paint has bled into the unprimed space and gives a fuzzy edged finish. Liquitex Professional Slow-Dri Blending Gel - An acrylic gel medium that slows drying time, boosts workability for up to 40% longer. The medium softens edges and increases blending potential for acrylic paint.

GOLDEN Gloss/Satin Glazing Liquid - Highly fluid acrylic glazing medium which can be used to thin acrylic colour without diluting pigment strength. Use to create highly transparent glazes when mixed with acrylic colour and comes in Gloss and Satin finishes. Liquitex Professional Pouring Medium - This medium increases flow and maintains colour strength for pouring techniques, creates marbling effects and colours do not bleed into each other when pouring. Dries with a high gloss finish. GOLDEN Wetting Aid - Surfactant solution that decreases the surface tension acrylic paint and increases flow whilst greatly reducing paint mark retention. Ideal for when smooth application and thin paint layers are required. Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic Flow Improver - A clear surfactant that reduces paint surface tension. When diluted with water and used with acrylic colour it increases smoothness and can assist with glaze techniques. Retarder or slow drying medium is a gel additive that increases the drying time of acrylic paints by decreasing evaporation speed of the water in the acrylic paint. This allows for acrylic paint to be worked and blended for longer before drying and facilitates the alla prima (wet-on-wet) technique, which is usually reserved for oil paints and their naturally slower drying time. It also keeps paint usable on the palette for longer.GOLDEN Clear Self Levelling Gel – A fluid acrylic medium which increases flow and imparts a smooth level finish to the paint it is mixed with. GOLDEN Polymer Varnish w/UVLS - Robust acrylic polymer varnish with UltraViolet Light Stabiliser (UVLS) designed to give maximum protection against prolonged exposure to UV light sources.
