Winsor & Newton Watercolor Medium, Blending Medium, 75ml (2.5-oz) bottle

This stuff have made a world of difference in the desert environment that I live in. This really helps to extend the drying time of both watercolors and gouache; it also increases the ability to easily rewet your paint once it dry on the palette if a bit is added to the paint before it dries. Definitely a game changer!

A renowned artist adds this to her gouache paints.

I added the "Blending Medium" with Arteza tube acrylic paint, and Extra fine glitter (no recipe just add and mix till you get it).I'm painting this drink cozy, with a fine tiped detailing brush. Picture shown, after I'm finished painting I will paint over the design with a gloss all-purpose sealer to protect my artwork.This is my first try on this project so I can't say how Long the design will last.I got a set of wink of stella brushes, I wanted More color choices to use in my adult coloring books, this glitter mixing works!

This blending medium is awesome to keep your gouache moist! It is amazing! I have a sealed pallet and I add my Turner Gouache or Windsor and Newton Gouches and mix a few drops of this medium and this keeps gouaches for a long time, on a good sealed pallet! If you want to keep your watercolors or gouaches fresh and workable, you need this!

Definitely keeps the paint wetter longer where mine usually dry really fast. Only negative is it tends to disperse them more than would normally occur making more mixing necessary. Still a real help, giving you that extra time to blend that can make a big difference.

If you are a guoache painter this is a life saver. Adding just a few drops of this to your paint will keep it staying wet while painting. And if you are like me and tend to forget to moisten your paint, this will save you. It does let the pain dry full and keep it wet longer. It does not affect the formula, color, or consitency of the paint. Just add a few drops depending on the amount of paint you squeezed out of the tube, give a good thourough mix and happy painting.

I watched a youtube review on how to keep your gouache paint moist and not cracked. This does the trick. You stir it in with a toothpick, a couple of drops per palette pan. So far, after a week, no cracking of my Holbien Gouache! YEAH!

I use this medium to extend drying time with artist's gouache paints, which can dry quickly. You can also mix it with the paint and keep it in a stay-wet palette or a squeeze bottle. I have not tried it with watercolor paints, but it is a great help with gouache painting.
