Liquitex Acrylic Slow-Dri Blending Fluid Medium

Attributes

. For all acrylic paints and mediums.
. Increases "open" time of acrylic paint. Reduces paint skinning over on palette.
. Increases blending time, making blending of colors and detail brushwork easier.
. Mix with Liquitex® Acrylic paints and mediums to retard drying time up to 50%.
. Fluid consistency, made to be used with Liquitex Medium Viscosity Concentrated Artist Color and Medium Viscosity mediums.
. May also be used with Liquitex High Viscosity Artist Color and High Viscosity mediums, however thickness of paints and mediums will be reduced.

Directions
. Do not mix more than 25% per volume into paint and mediums or paint may not fully dry.

Application

. TRANSPARENT WASHES

. . Transparent and translucent colors make the most vibrant acrylic watercolor colors.
. . The more water used, the more transparent the wash becomes.

. HARD EDGE BRUSHMARKS

. . Apply acrylic watercolor to dry paper. Soft Edge ("bleed") Brush marks
. . Dampen paper with water or "Slow-Dri®/water" (see below) then apply acrylic watercolor.
. . Create acrylic watercolor using Flow-AidTM Water (1 part Flow-Aid Color Enhancer, 20 parts water). Flow-Aid reduces surface tension, thereby softening edges.
. . Refer to Liquitex® Paint Additives: Flow-Aid Flow Enhancer Ultra-Soft Edge ('bleed") Brush marks.
. . Dampen paper with Flow-Aid Water then apply acrylic watercolor for deeper saturation of color. Slowing Drying Time
. . Mix Liquitex Slow-Dri Fluid Retarder into water to create "Slow-Dri/water" (4 parts water to 1 part Slow-Dri ). Use this mixture to create acrylic watercolor.

. FINE LINE DETAIL

. . A technique where color is applied in fine detail. Best results are achieved using Liquitex® Medium Viscosity Concentrated Artist Color and a soft, round brush. Additives that increase "open" time of paint and decrease surface friction aid in achieving detailed brush marks.

Slow-Dri® Fluid Retarder . Increases "open" time, thus slowing down thickening of paint on brush and allowing finer detail brush marks. Often used in conjunction with Flow-AidTM.

Flow-Aid Flow Enhancer
. Mix with colors for paint that has less drag and better flow, allowing fine line detail.

FABRIC PAINTING

. Achieve permanent colors without heat setting, steaming or chemical fixing.
. Stencil, watercolor, airbrush, marble, stamp, silk-screen, dye or stain.
. Paint on cotton, cotton-poly blends, woven, knitted, felt, terry cloth, silk, velvet, velveteen, corduroy, flannel, suede and leather and most synthetics.

SILK SCREEN PRINTING

Liquitex® Medium Viscosity Concentrated Artist Colors and High Viscosity Artist Colors offer artists a non-toxic approach for silk-screen techniques.

Medium Viscosity Concentrated Artist Color
. Consistency of extra heavy cream. Can be squeezed or poured from container.
. Easier to silk-screen through tight mesh screens.
. Dries quickly on absorbent surfaces, such as paper.
. May spread or "bleed" into absorbent surfaces, such as paper.
High Viscosity Artist Color . Heavy body consistency.
. Less likely to spread or "bleed" when screen printing onto fabric.
. Generally prints more opaque because of thicker paint application.
. May clog in tight mesh screen.

Extending Drying Time

. Mix up to 25% Liquitex Slow-Dri® Fluid Retarder with Medium Viscosity Concentrated Artist Color to slow drying time 50% and allow for better transfer of paint to paper during printing, without significantly affecting opacity.
. Mix up to 25% Liquitex Slow-Dri Gel Retarder with High Viscosity Artist Color to slow drying time 50% and allow for better transfer of paint to paper during printing, without significantly affecting opacity.
. Mix Liquitex Slow-Dri Fluid and Gel Retarder to attain intermediate consistency.

Helpful Hints During Printing

. Prepare all paint necessary for printing before beginning.
. Work quickly. Do not stop during printing.
. Pre-wet screen with 1 part Liquitex Slow-Dri Fluid Retarder and 1 part water.

. To prevent paint from drying on screen during printing, periodically spray screen during printing with 1 part Liquitex Slow-Dri Fluid Retarder and 1 part water. Too much spraying may cause paint to spread ("bleed") on paper.
. For spot cleaning during silk-screen printing, remove paint from screen with a damp cloth as soon as screen clogs.
. To clean major paint clogs on screen, top printing immediately and clean screen with warm water and non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Blot with paper towel and continue printing.
Liquitex Mediums as Permanent Silk-Screen Blockouts

. They are resistant to oil based screen inks and solvents.
. For detail blockouts: Use Gloss Medium & Varnish or Matte Medium.
. For large area and expressive blockouts: Use Gloss Gel Medium, Matte Gel Medium or Gloss Heavy Gel Medium.
