Liquitex Heavy Body vs Basic What I Use On My Props / Costumes and Why

Then it comes to building props Paints can make all the difference when taking a prop / costume piece from just built to a finished work of art. In this video I'm going to show you the difference between heavy body and basic acrylics and what I use to complete my eva and resin props

I've never clicked on a link this fast lol I've been wanting to step up my paint game for a while now

[paulpethers]

would love to see tutorial on painting flat metallic surfaces like on your destiny Armour and shading yellow

[SooZyx]

That's awesome! I actually often use the Liquitex Heavy Body Gold because it's gorgeous and metallic paints are the least pigmented paints in general, so I have less coats with that paint than any other /o
Can't wait to see your next videos \O/

[poooopiepie]

Awesome video just one question. Do you use the heavy body paint for washes too? Since most gets wiped away would it matter much if you used a cheaper paint?

[LeonNoelCos]

Hi Steve, just wanna know if the acrylic paint you're using leave sticky surface when it dries. I've been using cheap Marie's acrylic paint back then and I realized it leaves the surface sticky and makes me hates using acrylic paint for a long time
