Starting Out

Acrylic artists have never before had the opportunity to blend and adjust their paintings wet-in-wet within a time frame they can control, but this advantage involves new processes that need to be learned and followed.

One of the attractions of acrylics has always been speed. Therefore, it is important that in extending working time the ability to do things quickly is not lost, particularly for artists who have developed successful techniques for overcoming the problems of fast drying paints. Otherwise in choosing Interactive you would burden yourself with new, slow processes to learn and lose the techniques you have already mastered to your satisfaction.

Balance

Interactive moves the balancing point which controls drying.

Extended wet-in-wet painting is now possible. However when you want your painting to dry quickly to allow fast layering techniques, use Fast Medium Fixer.
