Acylic Paint Tips

1. The best paints to use are Golden for their coverage.
2. Scketch out the painting by diluting a color with water.
3. To thin use acrylic glazing medium, I prefer gloss. You can also use this to seal, cover the painting when you are finished. Since acrylic paints dry mostly flat, I like the results of the gloss glazing as a final coat. It helps the light to pick up and show the thicker strokes.
4.Usse modeling past or texture gel to thicken paints. I foudn the gel to be better, it disn't affect the color as much, I also used palett knives and lots more paint on the brush to achieve the effects I wanted.
