How to use it

Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
Can be thined by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results
Mix as much as you like into acrylic color/medium to create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the thinner and more transparent your color will become
Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear
If you're working over a long period of time, mix into color on the palette to keep it fresh and skin-free for longer
This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry
To fix pastel, graphite or chalk, mix 1 part medium to 1 part distilled water and apply with an atomizer or airbrush

Slow-dri FAQs

Other artists have asked us...

They are still here. We have just changed the titles a little to make the difference between the Liquitex Slow-dri mediums and additives clearer. All of the Liquitex Slow-dri formulas work well for better blending, by giving your paint a longer open time, but by titling them as a fluid, a gel or an additive, it makes it easier to see what you are getting - an additive without any acrylic resins, or a medium with resins. This helps you to decide what type of formula to choose.

I live in Florida and I find my acrylics dry too quickly. Can I add anything to stop it?

I want that “oil color look.” What can I do with acrylics?

Where have the Liquitex Slow-dri Blending Mediums gone? I used to really like using them for making subtle fades.
