I loved this site! It has everything and nice explanations of products for the uninitiated. HOWEVER, I don't understand why shipping costs are not commensurate with weight of the object. Ratings Shipping to selling price makes it like a tax. Otherwise, It is GREAT.

retarder gel from utrecht applied with any type brush, will help the blending process in acrylics
especially skies or water, it will help build through numerous layers or glazes a very luminous effect. i also use it plus water in transparent washes or glazes over a finished painting to give softness to the painting.on water one can make it glossy simalar to oils. i use acrylics in an oil style,for i painted in oils 12 years, left oils because oils became a health hazard. have painted in acrylics 40 years.i have many other tips.
