0:03 Q: How and which body acrylics should I use to get longer work time with the paint?
0:27 A: Mixing in a slow drying medium or retarder is helpful,
0:36 “Misting” - using a spray bottle to dampen the paint or the painting itself is a technique I use.
0:42 A very fine mist over the painting-careful not to over-do it, will keep things moist and workable for longer.
1:05 I recommend misting every 20 minutes.
1:24 There is a product by Golden Acrylics called “open acrylics” you might want to consider testing out.
1:45 When using traditional acrylics some options are:
1:54 A blending medium
2:15 A retarder
2:25 There are liquid and gel retarders.
2:31 Liquid medium has the consistency of water.
2:33 Remember, when adding blending medium-which has acrylic polymer in it, you can add as much to your paint as you like.
2:44 A retarder has no acrylic polymer so you don’t want to add more than 25% by volume to your paint.
3:05 Retarders significantly slow down the drying time if you mix the maximum amount into your paint.
3:14 While you prepare your palette, you can mix the mediums or retarders into your color.
