"Acrylic paint is alot cheaper."

My country: no

You said that acrylic paints are cheaper than watercolors but in my country watercolours are cheaper than acrylic paints

Hot tip: keep a spray bottle on hand when working on a longer term project w acrylic!! It keeps it wet to keep it useable ((: I personally use plastic take away containers and whenever its open I I'll mist it every 20 mins or so while I'm painting

I guess removing fine art education from early education has had an effect on the world.
I grew up in the seventies and this was taught in grade one; the fact that this is new to so many of you folks everywhere breaks my heart.
I was looking for some videos to show my kindergarten aged niece and nephew BUT, I am glad that fine art seem is popular again for young people.
From one artist to love!

I’ve been literally saying “goo-chay” this whole time. 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ also great video

I used Gouache for a long time and the main reasons are it offers the best from both watercolor and acrylic. it can be transparent or opaque and can be applied on colored papers, cardboards or even canvas. Watercolor is limited to white papers only and if you applied too much it could make the colors burn while acrylics are permanent so make sure you maximized your pallet before storing them. A fixative substance can be applied if you want your Gouache painting to be permanent.

I love watercolour and gouache but acrylic is my type, I see other people prefer gouache but for me, nothing can beat acrylic, it’s the best, I LOVE it. (This is my opinion)

[nazly]

All of these are awesome, but I personally like watercolor paints because they are perfect for landscapes

[TheAdelaide]

I never appreciated acrylic that much, but this helped me!! Especially the part about layering, now I will definitely buy a few tubes 🤩

[lunaredgrave]

You can add glycerin to acrylic paints if you don't want them to dry quickly on your paper or canvas. However if you're too adapted to acrylic paints like me, when the drying time changes, you're more prone to making mistakes. You may mix colors on canvas when you're thinking you're adding a new layer. So be careful. 😉
