Blend Acrylics Softly with a Gel Retarder

Jo Sonja's Gel Retarder is a 250ml clear gel medium whose label promises The Blendability of Oils with the Ease of Acrylics.

Soft gradations and wet-into-wet blending are where acrylics can feel hurried. This medium is pitched at painters who want more time to blend, and the tagline on the purple Jo Sonja's band makes the comparison with oil painting directly. The gel itself looks clear in the bottle. A black flip cap closes the tall bottle, and the Chroma mark sits under the purple shell logo.

A gel form stays where you put it on the palette, which is handy when you want to work a little into each colour. The 250ml bottle keeps a studio supplied for many blending sessions, from florals and skies to portraits in acrylic.

Pick colours to blend from our acrylic paints, compare this gel with the liquid retarder listed in painting mediums, and add soft blending brushes from the craft paint brushes range for gentle transitions.

FAQs

The order is a 250ml bottle of clear Gel Retarder, Chroma code JS71200, sold on its own.
Both are retarders in the Jo Sonja's range. This one is a gel labelled for oil-like blendability, while the Retarder Medium (JS72700) is a liquid labelled Delays Drying Time of Acrylics.
The gel looks clear in the bottle. We cannot say more than the label does, so test it with your own colours first.
The label compares it to oils but names acrylics as what it is used with. Nothing on the front suggests use with oil colours.
