Retarder by GOLDEN, 8 fl oz. / 237 ml bottle, Professional Acrylic Fluid Mediums and Additives

This works perfectly for keeping my paints from drying on the canvas before I’m able to blend with other colors. It’s keeps my paintings from having sharp lines where I don’t want them.

Like all products made by Golden, this retarder is great stuff. If I mix a little retarder with the paint and periodically refresh with a quick spritz of water, I can use the same pile/puddle of paint for about 2-3 hours, sometimes a bit longer. The retarder also makes it easier to blend colors on canvas since you have more time to work with the paint. Another added bonus is the retarder helps to prevent those nasty skins that tend to build up on the palette around the edges of the puddles of paint. Less waste and clean-up is a breeze. Highly recommended.

CLEAR gel and love that for mixing in. Now always mix a couple drops into premixed colors I’ve made and put in my 1oz sealed containers to insure continuous use. More control than other mediums of a like kind to keep paint nice and useable. Also wonderful for your palette. When working in sun and other studio lights my acrylics last much longer. Blending and mixing acrylics down to small areas now stay usable much longer. Found benefits in both wet and regular palettes. As I prefer the standard now thanks to Golden Retarder no longer loose or end up wasting my paint.

I really like this product! Just a drop or two gives my acrylic paints a smooth feel and makes mixtures on the palette last longer when I come back to them. On the canvas, it extends the time I can work with blending my paints allowing me to achieve the feel of oil painting. It also helps rejuvenate paint that has gotten a bit dried out in the tube and makes them smooth and workable again. Just make sure you don’t use too much!

I love using this retarder to keep my paint wet longer while it's on my pallette. It doesn't affect the integrity of the paint at all so its great!

It's really good for it's use, keeps acrylic paint wet longer. The only problem I have is that I use it for college and I put it in a box so it doesn't stand straight, so it leaks all over, not a lot but could've been used many times for the amount it let's out, it also closed all the way. Should have a cap over it or something

Works very well.

Works as expected, thankfully.

Works just as I'd hoped.

Good retarder

Great for acrylic paints that start to harden while you are painting it makes your paints more supple to continue your art very good value for money prevents paint waste. Its sheer so colours stay exactly the same. Would buy again.
