Extend blending time by 40% in challenging climates or complex work
Acrylic paint dries faster than most artists need it to. This retarder solves that timing problem by extending your working window by 40%, giving you space to blend gradients, soften edges, and refine transitions before the paint sets. The formula maintains your paint's transparency level, glazes stay luminous, opaque passages keep their coverage, while slightly lowering viscosity for smoother flow across the surface.
Mix Slow-Dri directly into your paint or medium before application. The extended open time proves particularly valuable in dry climates or warm studios where standard acrylics can feel unforgiving. Portraitists working subtle skin tone transitions and landscape painters building atmospheric depth both benefit from the extra minutes this provides. The fluid consistency integrates seamlessly with Liquitex acrylics without altering their essential character.
Available in 2 oz. and 4 oz. bottles, sized for both occasional use and regular studio practice. Add gradually, a little extends working time significantly, while too much can compromise adhesion and drying altogether.
