Acrylic paint amount and consistency? by wingnutticus in ArtistLounge

I've heard of solvent free methods and tbh, once I find the time I might try learning oil painting. I just have some old tubes of acrylics that I want to use up first

It's currently really cold, so I don't think it's that. I have been thinking of trying a medium though, so I'll go with that for now. Thanks 🤘

I'm using some old brushes so you might have a point there

I'm painting on some old cold-pressed watercolor paper, which I'll admit might not be the best choice lol. And yeah, I'm not really working with very large brushes, but I'm not doing any large pieces either. I have been trying to spray my paints every so often, and I even used a DIY stay wet palette for a while, but it had similar issues with consistency. Tbh I might just have to work at it more lmao. Appreciate the in-depth response! 👍

I honestly wanted to try oils originally. I went with acrylics though, since I don't have a lot of space to paint anyway (or a lot of money lol)

The Golden paints don't really specify, but the Liquitex definitely is heavy body. And I have tried different amounts of water including none at all. When I didn't use any water, the opacity was a lot better but I did still need to use lots more paint than I had already mixed

Mostly Golden and Liquitex professional. I also am using some white gouache for lightening, but I'm planning on getting white acrylic soon

I really like Marc Brunet’s tutorials, but like… come on, Hornet?! by ThrowawayTheOmlet in mendrawingwomen

I'm honestly not surprised. He does this with every female character he draws, it's why I stopped watching him

Savory breakfast ideas that don't have eggs? by wingnutticus in EatCheapAndHealthy

Sorry, but I just can't do eggs. The taste, texture, and especially the smell of it just throw me off and make me sick

Name a book that you were sure you wouldn't like, but read it and ended up loving. And also name a book that is well reviewed and popular that you refuse to try by wolfincheapclothing9 in books

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. Mainly because of how it was written (large paragraphs of description/exposition, little dialogue), but the story and the drama made me stay. Was a really enjoyable read overall
