Using a wet-on-wet method must be done quickly when working with acrylic paint. Buy yourself some extra time to create stunning colour transitions, blend colours smoothly and allow yourself to work on the same area for longer using Amsterdam slow drying medium. This medium extends the drying time of your paint, depending on the amount added. This pre-mixed, ready-to-use medium contains acrylic resin, which makes it easy and safe to use in any quantity. Adding a large amount of slow drying medium will also affect the paint’s transparency and degree of gloss.

Did you know you can use traditional glazing techniques with acrylic paint as well? Amsterdam glazing medium allows you to add those even, transparent layers to your work. This medium makes your paint smoother, easier to spread and more even (without visible brush strokes). The medium is self-leveling, so it helps you create those beautiful glazing layers to achieve an optical colour mixing effect with the colours of the underlying layers. Glazing works especially well with transparent colors in the final layers of your painting. Adding a medium also makes the paint film even more elastic and flexible.
