I would like to paint gradation style 12’ accent wall with the colour blend from yellowish to orange.

Is there a medium to add to the latex paint to make the colour blend smooth?

Thank you for your input.

  Yes, I have seen this site. If you have any other ideas I welcome them.
  
  I am hoping to find a medium that will smooth the transitions even more.

Hi Dianne, there's no medium that makes it blend, that's all you. But there is extender that I add to latex paints to allow for more drying time. Latex dries fast so by adding the extender you can "work" the paint longer and achieve your gradations. Good luck.

Yes that is what I was thinking also.

I have just purchased Floetrol to add to the paint.

Would you be able to share what you have used in this case?

Thanks
