White will remove the warmth from warm colors. You can also mix your colors and make sure brush is very wet. It will thin down the paint enough to spread it over a large area.

So your dry brushes or wash brushes how do you clean them up? Just rinse with water? and let them dry?

@GregLowmanArt 11 ай бұрын

Yes, with any water-based paints (acrylics, watercolor, gauache, etc.) you can just rinse w/ water and let dry, but you'll need to use soap after oils.

It makes blending easier because you are blending into wet paint instead of blending into a dry canvas - just a trick for people for people who are having trouble.

I might try this except using "mixing white. "

@ForceFreeTrainergirl06 8 ай бұрын

This is fine with a tiny canvas like yours. If you use a large canvas this will not work properly because the white layer will be drying out before you can get the other colours on it and then trying to blend it won't work at all. It might help if you use an extender mixed with the paint instead of water because the water is going to dry out much faster. However, we have nothing in the acrylic paint field so far as I know, that acts like the clear coat in oil painting which is a shame.

No, you'll want to use actual paint for this - gesso is used to prep/smooth a canvas.

You don't need an actual blender brush, it just helps when applying the paint. Most brushes work fine (small wash, square, etc.) for that step.

From my experience too much water isn't good for blending because it weakens the binder, making the paint lift.

No you won’t destroy the canvas & I often water it all the way down to a wash/glaze w/ no issues but a creamy consistency is best for this
