I definitely meant to show a photo of Golden Acrylic Matte Medium! Not sure how I managed the mix up!

@andreaspaoletti141 3 ай бұрын

The one called "GOLDEN OPEN Acrylic Medium" (Matte)? The naming of the Golden products is a little confusing. There is also one called "GOLDEN Acrylic Glazing Liquid" which is a medium with retarter (but this is only Gloss and Satin).

@danarobinson7662 3 ай бұрын

@@andreaspaoletti141 The Open medium is formulated to work with their "open acrylics" which are somewhere between a soft and heavy body with a long working time. The medium makes them more fluid. (per golden) Their regular matte medium comes in a jar rather than a bottle, and has "golden" where "open" is on the one you found. It comes in two varieties, a thicker gluey texture, or fluid.

@@andreaspaoletti141 I commented on the smoke shading video with the same question as I was also confused about which medium Lyla is using. She says "Golden Acrylic Matte Medium" but shows the medium being added to her palette from a dropper bottle. Golden sell a product that is just called "Matte Medium" but it only comes in a pot, the same goes for "Fluid Matte Medium" and "Super Matte Medium". I suspect the medium being used is the "OPEN Acrylic Medium (Matte)" you mention as it comes in a dropper bottle and greatly extends the drying time, which is a feature Lyla praised it for in the smoke video, but that's just a guess! I hope we get some clarification, but I ordered some anyway. It's not like I need an excuse to buy more painting stuff to experiment with!

I never considered mixing regular and contrast paint because of the texture differences. Besides either through the airbrush or with the brush, I've only ever thought they were meant for just themselves. Thanks for showing us your experiment! This gives me something to think about

Something I like to do to manage coffee staining is pre-wet the surface with medium before going in with your transparent paint

Doing this with full strength contrast paint and wet blending is also a great way to get nice blends fast without glazing.

I had seen a few painters use an airbrush for the little pink and red on the joints of orcs and goblins, but I'm intimidated by the idea of trying that for something so fine, but using thinned down contrast paints is a great idea for it.

Thanks for the advice l, I'm using contrast paint for my poxwalkers since I have 100 of them. No Exaggeration, so thinning and lighting them with light paint is crucial because I'll be dry brushing them at the end. I had a few that were so dark it lost a lot of the details. Thank you very much and I love your videos. Keep it up l, you are awesome

Great video as always! I have not had much luck with contrast paints in the traditional use so I have been using them mostly through an air brush for shadows. I'll watch that video again and see.if I can figure out what I am doing wrong

@LylaMev 3 ай бұрын

interesting! What problem are you having?

@shaunkrogulski9619 3 ай бұрын

@@LylaMev the color largely disappears on any color other than white. So if I do a zenithal highlight the color shows up on the white portion but disappears on the black portion. It doesn't look like a darker version, just black. So the transitions don't really exist and it makes the model look off. I have used them as essentially washes recently and that has worked alright when using something like newsh, but the base colors have to be there or white for it to work the way it seems to for other folks.

@danarobinson7662 3 ай бұрын

You can buy Jam, it's just more expensive than Jelly. PB&J is food to fill up kids so cost is more of a factor than taste for some families- mine growing up for example. I currently buy Bonne Maman Cherry Preserves, but growing up my parents had more kids than money for jam.
