Atelier’s Unlocking Formula has been specifically designed to help you control the drying of Atelier Interactive. It allows you to keep your acrylic paint wet for as long as you need. Mix the Unlocking Formula into your paint with either a brush or an atomiser spray. This formula will keep your paint wet, it will also re-wet or re-open recently dried paint. Once the paint is re-opened, new paint can be blended back in, existing paint edges can be feathered or whole sections can be removed with a rag to reveal under layers. This product is part of the Atelier Interactive range.The Atelier interactive range can be used with traditional acrylic medium (or water) for overpainting or layering, or alternatively by itself it can allow you to use wet-in-wet painting techniques, has a longer working time and blend in a way similar to how you’d use oil paints.You can combine the Atelier Interactive range and Atelier Traditional range to create unique and interesting effects within the same painting. youtube=hlOIq7z7fJ4 Atelier Interactive Acrylic Unlocking Formula

Free flowing slightly thixotropic medium with an alkyd based. This medium will not increase gloss when added to oil colours. Fast drying and non-yellowing. Use this medium to thin oil paint. Stir before use.

It is is advised to store Jackson's Oil Medium at a stable temperature. Storage in an overly hot or cold environment will affect the consistency of the product.

Jackson's Alkyd Medium should be quite a fluid medium.

Maintenance of Alkyd Mediums - Like all alkyd-based mediums, the introduction of air space in the bottle allows for solvent evaporation and drying - even with the lid closed. To compensate, add a little solvent of your choice to the bottle immediately after use and shake it well to maintain the desired thickness of the medium. We tested a variety of types of solvent and they all worked.

Rescuing Thickened Alkyd Medium - If your painting medium has thickened but is still fluid, add in a small amount of solvent and shake thoroughly. Continue adding more solvent and shaking until the medium is close to its original consistency. If a fluid alkyd painting medium has thickened to a gelled consistency, it will no longer help to add solvent - unfortunately it cannot be rescued.

Sennelier’s Green For Oil Medium Gel is designed for impasto effects, where you an build up layers and create an impressive sense of depth. It maintains the consistency of oil paints and allows you to add thick layers later without thinning the initial bottom layers.

Sennelier’s range Green For Oil has been designed to be a safer, greener alternative to traditional solvents with all the ingredients being part of the bio-solvent family. These eco-friendly solvents are created from renewable raw materials that are found naturally. They are sourced, keeping biomass and sanitary and environmental standards in mind, from plant, animal or mineral based materials. The careful science and construction means they work very similarly to their traditional counterparts and produce a synonymous result.

Clear medium based on a synthetic resin accelerates drying of oil colour and improves their weather resistance. Ideal for glazing and extending colours while retaining gloss, viscosity and structure of paint. Fast drying.

It is is advised to store Jackson's Oil Medium at a stable temperature. Storage in an overly hot or cold environment will affect the consistency of the product.

Available in 2 sizes: 250ml and 1 litre tins.

Increases drying time. Can be applied onto surface to be painted or mixed (maximum 10%) with acrylic colour. Will increase colour transparency if mixed with paint. Conforms to USA Standard ASTM D-4238pdf=Retarder.pdf Material Safety Data Sheet

Ateliers Universal Medium is a medium and varnish rolled into one.How To Use As a MediumThere are too many mediums on offer for use with acrylics. This medium does nearly all of the techniques that you could need if you are painting in fast quick layers. However, if you want heavy impasto you will still need to use Heavy Gel or Moulding Paste.Decant some of the concentrate into a small container that you can dip your brush into.You will like the feel of the paint when the medium is added to it and you will notice that it allows you to blend and feather edges very effectively because the medium is not sticky on the brush.Small additions to thick paint will loosen the consistency while more medium creates a very attractive glazing or layering mixture which can be over painted when touch dry.How To Use As A VarnishSolvent based varnish has a strong smell because of the turps, but usually looks better than a water based one and is easy to apply.The Atelier Interactive Universal Medium/Varnish when used as a water based varnish is comparable to solvent varnish. It is very easy to apply. It gives the colour saturation and enhancement of a good solvent based varnish. By adding water to the concentrate different levels of sheen can be created between low sheen and high gloss.Artists should experiment with color swatches to decide on the finishes that they prefer.Apply a seal coat one part varnish two parts water. This allows the varnish to penetrate and seal the paint layer so that a more concentrated varnish can be spread easily when the seal coat is dry.If you want a high gloss finish the full concentrate can be used over the seal coat and two or more coats can be used to exaggerate gloss as required.For a subtle finish you might decide that the seal coat is all that you need or you might apply another diluted coat to create a satin finish which is more attractive than a satin varnish containing a flatting agent.How To ApplyPlace your painting in a sloping position so that you can pick up the runs or dribbles. You can work back and forth while the varnish is wet because it does not catch on the brush.This product is part of the Atelier Traditional range.The Atelier Traditional painting range allows you to use traditional acrylic techniques that have been evolving since 1965. The Atelier Traditional mediums are made of an acrylic binder that dries quickly and forms a tough water resistant skin.You can combine the Atelier Interactive range and Atelier Traditional range to create unique and interesting effects within the same painting.

The Akua Retarder has two purposes. A few drops mixed into Akua Liquid Pigment helps transfer ink onto dry paper during the printing process. It can also be added to Akua Liquid Pigment to prevent the ink from drying on the monotype plate thereby extending the working time of the ink. - A clear liquid, it is ideal for hot, dry or very cold studio conditions. Only a tiny amount is needed, too much will cause the ink to bead. It is not suitable for use with Akua Intaglio Inks. Easy clean up with water. -

Sennelier’s Green For Oil Liquid Medium can be used to replace universal mediums that contain harmful substances. It is a plant-based alternative that you can use like a classic medium to improve the consistency of your paint and create glazes. It can be used in cold temperatures and speeds up drying time while adding a slight gloss to your work.

Tack Thickener thickens Akua Liquid Pigment and also adds gloss for heavier roll-up applications. It can be used for creating denser Akua Liquid Pigment roll-ups onto monotype plates or woodblocks. It is medium amber in colour with a thick consistency. Soap and water clean-up. Adding Tack Thickener to the Akua Liquid Pigment makes it feel more like an oil-based ink. It also helps to keep the ink on the surface of the paper so that it remains vibrant after it dries. The Liquid Pigment will have a different working quality when Tack Thickener has been added, when drawing into the inked surface of the plate it makes the ink wipe away with less tonal variations. This means you will have clean, sharp lines when creating reductive monotypes. - The Liquid Pigment should be poured into the Tack Thickener at a ratio of between 20-40% Tack Thickener to Pigment. Any more than this and the ink will start to become grainy. A very small amount of Tack Thickener should be used with Liquid Pigment for brushwork. - Application:Roll out the tack thickened ink with a soft rubber brayer on a seperate ink slab. Once the brayer is evenly coated, roll and transfer the ink onto the monotype plate.

Blending Medium is used with both Akua Liquid Pigment and Akua Intaglio Ink. It is used to thin the ink for brushwork, wash effects or use it as a resist for viscosity monotypes. It is a clear, colourless liquid which cleans up with water. It can be used to create a wet on wet look, wash effects and blends on monotype plates and paper. To do this, apply the Blending Medium directly onto the monotype plate, brush the colour over the Blending Medium and blend as desired.
