REVIVING GELATINOUS PAINT

8/5/2022

0 Comments

 
This week I am sharing a simple tip that will bring acrylic paint that has become thicker, almost jelly-like to a more normal consistency for painting with. ​

The first paint is Ultramarine Violet, the second paint is a rather old tube of Quinacridone Blue Violet and the last one is Alizarin Crimson Permanent.

I will be using Air Brush medium from Golden to thin and deal with the thick viscosity of the two paints.   This medium is very thin and runny but it is the base polymer that Golden uses for its paints.  
I put a small amount down to incorporate it into the paint and the repeat until the paint looks as smooth as possible.

There is  friction created by the palette knife  which also helps to smooth the paint more.  

See how much smoother the Alizarin Crimson Permanent is?  The Quinacridone Blue Violet is better than it started but I decided to toss that particular tube away...it took far to long to 'save'.
