Ranger - Tim Holtz Distress Resist Spray

Tim Holtz Distress Resist Spray

Protect areas from ink and stain with water-resistant splatter effects

Resist techniques give you control over negative space, what stays light while everything else darkens. This textured spray creates water-resistant barriers that hold their ground when you layer Distress inks, stains, or water-based media over top. The clear formula dries invisible until you add color, revealing spattered textures or stenciled patterns that resist subsequent layers.

The spray mechanism produces organic splatters when applied freehand, creating random texture that mimics natural weathering or age. Work through stencils for defined patterns that resist ink while surrounding areas absorb color. The water-resistant barrier maintains separation between layers without the hard edges of traditional masking, you get softer transitions where resist meets color.

Mixed media artists use this for building dimensional surfaces: spray, let dry, add ink washes, then repeat the cycle to create depth through multiple resist-and-color layers. The textured formula adds subtle surface variation beyond simple color blocking. Spray into an empty box to contain overspray, especially when working freehand. Two-ounce bottles provide enough volume for experimenting with different application techniques without committing to large quantities before you've dialed in your preferred effects.
