Acrylic Watercolor: Brushwork
TRANSPARENT WASHES
- Transparent and translucent colors (See label) make the most vibrant acrylic watercolor colors.
- The more water used, the more transparent the wash becomes.
- Apply acrylic watercolor to dry paper.
Soft Edge ("bleed") Brush marks
- Dampen paper with water or "Slow-Dri®/water" (see below) then apply acrylic watercolor.
- Create acrylic watercolor using Flow-AidTM Water (1 part Flow-Aid Flow Enhancer, 20 parts water). Flow-Aid reduces surface tension, thereby softening edges.
- Refer to Liquitex® Paint Additives: Flow-Aid Flow Enhancer Ultra-Soft Edge ('bleed") Brush marks.
- Dampen paper with Flow-Aid Water then apply acrylic watercolor for deeper saturation of color. Slowing Drying Time
- Mix Liquitex Slow-Dri Fluid Retarder into water to create "Slow-Dri/water" (4 parts water to 1 part Slow-Dri ). Use this mixture to create acrylic watercolor.
