i was about to buy transparent paints for a model but this solved my problem with ease

I've always found that transparent specific paint keeps its transparency as I build up layers, whereas if I thin the paint myself either with a combo of medium and thinners or just thinners it still becomes opaque as the layers build up. Would love to know how they make transparent paints remain transparent even with several layers applied.

Thank you, Mike! I have you book but you popped up first when I googled transparent acrylics!!

Feels like common sense, but only because you explained it very clearly. Thank you. You make it sound easy.

Thanks for this. I find your most useful (to me) videos are the ones where you give very specific tips, such as this one. I'd like to see you do some very specific 'helps' on composition + design...I can tell when something ISN't good, but need specific help knowing what IS good! For example, i've heard reference to 'C composition' . You suggestions in this area would be great as your compositions are always wonderful!

Mike please, how do you paint a tinted glass but with the light coming BEHIND it? Not teflecting the light but being translucent of it? I am painting on cavas, in acrylic, a subject that involves a piece of led glass filtering the light. Many thanks for your valuable help.

I met an artist in Canada that uses acrylic air brush medium vs water. It looks like skim milk. It binds as the paint does and one can make super thin glazes. It dries clear. Too much water can be a problem when attempting transparency. I dip my brush in it as I work to make washes.
