Instructions for use:
1. Preparation:
Make sure you have a clean and well-lit workspace. Keep all materials within reach, including the acrylic paint and the acrylic medium.
2. Choose your colors:
Take a small amount of acrylic paint in the colors you want to use on your palette.
3. Add the acrylic medium:
Add a small amount of the acrylic medium to the acrylic paint on your palette. Start with a ratio of about 1 part medium to 2 parts paint and adjust as desired.
4. Mix thoroughly:
Use a palette knife or a brush to mix the medium thoroughly with the paint. Make sure the mixture has a smooth, even consistency.
5. Test the consistency:
Test the mixture on a small piece of paper or a leftover piece of canvas to see if it has the desired properties. Check that the mixture applies well and has the right transparency.
6. Applying to the canvas:
Use a brush to apply the acrylic medium mixture to your canvas. Work in layers if necessary and let each layer dry completely before applying the next.
7. Experiment:
Feel free to experiment with different ratios and techniques. Try mixing, glazing, or applying impasto with your mixture.
8. Cleaning:
Clean your brushes and palette with water immediately after use to prevent the paint from drying out and damaging the brush bristles.
