Glossy Blending Medium for Extended Open Time and Smooth Color Transitions
Liquitex Professional Slow-Dri Blending Medium is a fluid acrylic medium that extends drying time by up to 40%, giving artists more time to blend, transition, and manipulate paint on the surface. It is ideal for achieving soft edges, seamless gradients, and layered effects that would otherwise be difficult with fast-drying acrylics. In addition to extending working time, this medium improves flow, increases transparency, and enhances color intensity—helping colors maintain vibrancy and luminosity across the painting.
Unlike additives, this medium contains an acrylic binder, allowing it to be mixed with paint in any ratio without compromising the strength or flexibility of the final film. Once dry, it leaves a clear, glossy finish that is durable, flexible, and resistant to chipping or cracking. Compatible with all Liquitex acrylic paints—Heavy Body, Soft Body, Ink, or Spray—it can be used on a wide variety of surfaces. For artists who want greater control over acrylic blending without sacrificing stability, Slow-Dri Blending Medium is an essential studio tool.
