Soft Gloss Gel 767 - Wallace Seymour

A slower drying impasto gel, with a glossy finish. This gel allows the paint passage to worked on over a longer period of time. Typically for 30-45 minutes in ambient conditions.

Acrylic Structure Paste 1 (Modelling Paste) - Wallace Seymour
£12.75 £11.48
This paste can be mixed with acrylic colour to achieve thicker passages of paint where heavy impasto areas are required (up to 3-5mm thickness). Thicker applications are more prone to cracking onto canvas but may be possible on rigid supports (e.g. board).
The structure paste has a dense consistency and an off-white colour. This off-white colour will have some effect when mixed into acrylic colours by reducing the tinting strength of the acrylic colour.
An alternative to mixing paste and colour directly is to lay down an application of structure paste first. When dried, it can then be over-painted with the chosen colour(s).
from £12.15
Acrylic Varnish Gloss - Wallace Seymour
£13.50 £12.15
This is a final varnish for dried acrylic paintings. Ensure the paint surface is completely dried before application. Typically, an acrylic painting, no thicker than 1-2mm will take around 14 days to cure completely.
The varnish is applied with a flat hog varnish brush, ideally 5mm thick and 40-50mm wide. The varnish can be diluted as required with water. For example, dilution by 25% with cold water will allow the varnish to coat the surface evenly, without drag and not too runny as to be difficult to handle when brushing. Alternatively Acrylic Varnish Gloss can be spray applied although it should be diluted to some extent with water first.
The heavy gloss of undiluted varnish can be reduced by dilution with water. The more water is added the less the gloss effect will be.

from £12.15
Acrylic Retarder - Wallace Seymour
£13.50 £12.15
Wallace Seymour Artist’s Acrylics typically dry in 20-30 minutes in ambient conditions. The drying time can be extended by adding Acrylic Retarder.
For example, a 70%-30% mix of acrylic colour and Acrylic Retarder will prolong the drying time another 15-30 minutes. If too much retarder is added, the paint film will remain water-receptive (resoluble) for a longer period. The retarder has a matting effect, when used in higher doses.
Acrylic Retarder can also be used as a water-resoluble binder, when making paint using just dry pigment and acrylic retarder.
from £12.02
Screenprinting Paste - Wallace Seymour
£13.35 £12.02
For use with screenprinting, Wallace Seymour Artist’s Acrylic can be used in conjunction with Wallace Seymour Screenprinting Paste.
The best starting point is to mix: 30% screenprinting paste to 70% acrylic colour. Modify the amount of screenprinting paste as required by adding more than 30%, the drying time (‘open time’ on the screen) is extended.
If colour has been left to dry in the screens wash the screens with water and flush out gently with warm water.
from £22.91
