Layering with Acrylic Paint - Heavy Body vs Soft Body vs Ink

In this video I talk through the different types of acrylic paint (heavy body, soft body and ink) and how I use them to create different effects. I then create a small composition to demonstrate a layering process where I use all three paint types. I start with the ink and then build up with soft body acrylic and finally add more texture with heavy body paint and a palette knife.

Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you Kate for sharing your process.
I fell in love with abstract from using inks, seeing how they naturally create beautiful forms in water. It’s so magical to watch.
Your process is so helpful in building layers, creating textures and in particular your dry blending method.
Really enjoying your channel 🙏🏻🙂🙏🏻
