A J Ludlow Blending and Slow Drying Additive

Blending and Slow Drying Additive is just one of the Watercolour Mediums that complement the A J Ludlow Professional Watercolour range. Made in the UK using the same fine quality materials we use to make our watercolours; this medium has been created to give an additional dimension and creativity to the artist.

When added to watercolour, this medium slows the drying time and hence allows more time for blending colours. It extends the working time in hot climates.

This medium can be used in targeted areas, for example in the initial washes to keep them open and is ideal for use with large paintings; keeping large area washes wet in order to allow sufficient time to complete. It can be added directly to the moist watercolour or added to the water; its retarding effect will decrease with higher portions of water. In hot climates it may be more advantageous to use this medium instead of water.
