The Mont Marte Premium Acrylic Retarder is a smart essential for any acrylic artist looking to overcome the fast-drying nature of the medium. This gel-based additive slows down the drying time of your paint, giving you a much longer "open time" to work. It is particularly smart for techniques traditionally reserved for oil paints, such as smooth colour blending, wet-on-wet transitions, and soft-edged shading.
Key Features:
Extended Working Time: Smartly delays the drying process, allowing you to manipulate and blend colours on the canvas for longer without the paint "tacking up."
Maintains Paint Viscosity: Unlike water, which can thin your paint too much, this retarder is smartly formulated to maintain the consistency and body of your acrylics.
Superior Blending: A smart choice for portraiture and landscapes where seamless gradients and soft transitions are required.
Improves Flow: Smartly assists in the smooth application of paint, making it easier to achieve long, continuous brushstrokes.
Clear Drying: Dries completely clear, ensuring that the vibrancy and hue of your pigments are not altered once the piece is finished.
Easy Cleanup: A smart water-based formula that cleans up effortlessly with warm soapy water while still wet.
